Zapper Question

[ulaoulao]

Unfortunately the adapter only gets input from the trigger buttons and joystick. Accelerometers are no-go with this particular setup. It's not optimal, but a workable first attempt, I think.

I'm sorry I dont follow you? What adapter? You mean that may flash thing? If so yeah f all that, I got that covered. Mayflash is a neat company but they done have jack on me Heck I'm the one that showed them how to get L and R pressure data.

Tried it with a second IR LED on the outside of the gun, tracking is MUCH improved - near perfect! I will add the second LED to the inside of the barrel (closer to the tip).

Woops, yes, I meant the mayflash adapter. Right now I'm only using that for 1 single button. With the second LED in the barrel of the gun, no need for additional tracking via the accelerometer. As of right now, it's working better than my EMS Top Gun, and just as good as the Wiimote itself.

I'll be repeating the process with the real zapper (not the flimsy imitation) in a few days. It'll have a working trigger, two IR LED's for tracking, and on/off switches for the LED's on the bottom of the barrel (the gray, not orange part). Keeping my current setup, it'll be semi-wireless using the Mayflash wireless adapter (nunchuk plugs into that). That way I can play Duck Hunt on the couch!

I'll document as much as I can of the process - but I'm not sure where it would be best to show pictures/video of this project.

I'd just you the forums here I guess, its interesting enough.

Here's a working model of the PC Zapper I made yesterday.
