Multiple Light Gun
« on: September 18, 2014, 05:10:09 am »
Ok, this probably is a silly question  :angel:   If I get another light gun (aimtrak), I don't need to mount another sensor bar right?  I assume that 1 LED IR sensor bar serves multiple guns.

Thanks.

You're right. It is a silly question.  :P    jk   :lol

The IR LED bar isn't a sensor, it is just a light source.

No need for a second LED bar when you add a second gun.

Thanks...just got back with my 2nd Aimtrak.....I just glanced at the manual and it says only 1 LED bar is needed - I guess if I had read the manual, it wouldn't have been an issue.  But then again, I never read manuals except for today  :dunno

Make sure you read the part in the manual about setting Gun IDs.
