Aimtrak problem driving me insane.
Connorsdad:
I have 2 aimtraks in my cab, both were working fine until I put my cab together, now only 1 gun works. Gun 1 works absolutely fine so I believe the position/angle of the led bar isnt the problem. The second gun takes ages to calibrate, also the settings such as ir gain (Disabled) and button config change on their own. When I do finally get it to calibrate the next time I boot up it has been lost again :angry:
I've tried using the sensor view tab and the red dot shows the gun to be working fine.
Any ideas?
Wade007:
Mmmmmm....Sounds like there's something wrong with the firmware for gun 2 not saving the calibration. Did the gun get damaged somehow between when you last had it hooked up and when your cab was put together?
Maybe try and take a look at it's settings with the AimTrak Utility. Make sure everything registers correctly. No conflicting IDs, etc.
If they work in Windows but not in MAME, it could be that Windows is changing the IDs for the gun(s). Common problem. He's a solution:

Update:
If I aim off screen then back again, the cursor is all over the place. I've tried swapping the ports the guns are plugged into and the same gun still isn't working. I'll try the offending gun tomorrow on another pc with another sensor bar, something tells me it's going to be no different. Anybody ever known an aimtrak firmware to become corrupted? Maybe it's just died. Spent majority of my time using gun 1 (player 1) when setting up my system so can't say for sure if this is a recent issue :(

It's not working right in windows at all :(
I think I'll have to contact Andy at ultimarc. Anybody tried flashing aimtrak firmware ?
If so where do I get it?
Connorsdad:
Turns out I purchased my aimtraks from GremlinSolutions/Arcade World, after testing my gun on another pc with another lightbar and still having the same problem I contacted them.
Spoke to Andy, absolutely no problem at all with replacing or refunding, unfortunately no stock until mid Jan :(
I want to use it over the holidays with friends and family so have ordered from ultimarc and will get a refund from Arcade World.
Just thought I'd update to let folks know that customer service from arcade world is exactly as I have read on other forums, no quibble at all, send it back and we'll refund or replace.
