Title: Light Gun Connectivity ?
Post by: Robbo59 on July 20, 2018, 06:57:46 am

Hi there,

Complete newbie here and just starting a project and was wondering exactly what I would need for a 2 light gun set up, looking at purchasing 2 x AimTrak light guns with recoil.

If getting 2 guns can I use 1 PSU and split it ? I am struggling to find anything that explains exactly what I need to connect these through from the external USB to the PC ?

For my external USB port I was looking at this, any thoughts ? -  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-2-0-Male-To-Female-Socket-Extension-Panel-Cable-PC-Car-Dash-Board-Mount-2m/113092573665?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=413425399955&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-2-0-Male-To-Female-Socket-Extension-Panel-Cable-PC-Car-Dash-Board-Mount-2m/113092573665?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=413425399955&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649)

I am UK based.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

More info about the PSU requirements can be found on their site.

36V is recommended, just buy 2 of the ones they recommend.

You need 2 separate PSU’s as per the above recommendations.
