 I could not figure out what I was doing wrong...
Did not realize the address was for the web page only and not
the image.

Well I will try this mod with this gun shortly and let everyone know
if I'm successful!


Thanks for the tip.. :)

 I got my Aimtak's in today now just waiting for the guns.

Does anyone out there have some more close up pics of how they wired in
these extra buttons?

I have seen the official website and various other pics but nothing
conclusive.. I want to see a pic or 2 of someone who has tapped into
the extra buttons!
( And after the solder points are tapped into they hook to where? )

On another note I noticed other members had a pic of a 2 pin harness
but I noticed mine is 4 pin.. ???

Reading through all these Aimtrak's threads over and over it appears to
me the Aimtrak supports 2 buttons by default.. is that correct?






So many questions so few pics...

Neverending Project:
Originally Andy shipped the AimTraks with a 4-pin connector (female) populated with only two wires. I think he quickly realized that people wanted access to all four pins (two buttons) so he is now shipping the AimTraks with all four wires populated.

The bottom two pins of the header are the same - common. The top wires are for the trigger and auxiliary button switches. I would assume you can either daisy-chain the common leads from one switch to the next, or wire them both separately, although I have not confirmed this.


The AimTrak comes with support for 6 buttons, but only two are accessibly via the 4-pin header. The others will require you to solder into the (tiny) through-holes on the PCB. But you can configure it to have 4 separate joystick buttons with only the two pins on the header if you configure the on-screen and off-screen separately. In other words, you would make your trigger Button 0, trigger off-screen Button 1, aux Button 2 and aux off-screen Button 3 using the config utility.

Hope this clears things up for you.

 OK so that clears that up about it does now use 2 buttons by default.

So If I wanted the Extra 3 buttons ( Hoping 2 will be enough but don't know)
I would just soldering to P3 for Button 3 and then wire directly
to gun existing button 3.
Then Hack into a existing common from the harness and wire it also to
the button 3 on gun?


Am I understanding this correctly?
