Real men just move the keyboard out of the way and work and their god given station. Thank you for the video, and if parts were available, I'd be doing the same. First big nostalgia wave in '23 as people try and relive time crisis 1 all over again.
Just wanted to say thanks. I know I am late to the game but did the Aimtrak conversion and this video motivated me to do the Gun4ir as well. Between your video and their discord…went smoothly. Such an awesome setup. Thx again!
Great video. Been contemplating adding a Top Shot Elite rifle to my Gun4IR collection. Picked up a Nerf today for $2 and about to mod it next. JayBee designed a nice system and pretty easy to diy build your own from scratch.
Nice Video! If I can fit the camera into place okay, I use all the buttons/boards in place already on the gun including the trigger. Some boards have multiple components that you don't use they can and will interfere with operation, so its best to isolate them by cutting the traces on the board, Using a Stanley knife, I cut the all the traces on the board around each switch I will be using to isolate them from other components on the old boards. I then solder wires to each switch individually. Switches that aren't used at all I either just leave them be, or hot glue them secure so they feel like part of the gun.
With this price, I want to see some 4 player games setup! I'm really curious how much worse the Bluetooth version is. 4 wireless guns would be really cool
Good work mate. Can you tell me how the solenoid responds to trigger being pulled? Does it have a connection to the Arduino board? In your diagram it looks like it's just connected to the power?
How do you wire the trigger I have a 3 prong micro switch marked (common) (normally open) (normally closed) I need power to the common but don’t know where to run the power from.then when I pull the trigger the power will run through normally open and wire to the A2 pin on the Arduino. Do I need to ground this switch? Please help I’ve watched all your videos and others and nobody shows how to wire the trigger and the diagram you provided is difficult to understand
Got a few questions sir. 1. Did you lose the d pad and analogs ? 2. Since you drill out the front IR sense would the fish eye lense not be beneficial for the IR camera 3. The pump action reloads? 4. Got a link or model number for the piston style recoil you used in this build Thanks for the videos
Yes I removed the d pad and analogs. A fish eye lens is always needed for your light guns. (Unless your really far away from the TV/Monitor). You can always map your pump button for reload in each game. Check out my video on building a GUN4IR from the ground up. th-cam.com/video/CXjWhmYP2TI/w-d-xo.html Part links are below.
For the OEM kit it has two wires that are separate from the rest. Normally the same color. You can connect the wires to this location. Doesn't matter the orintation.
I dont know if I want to sell my Sinden guns, but these Gun4IR guns are really pricey though. I hope Andy fixes the software so you only need one running instead of 2 separate programs.
@@ArcadePirate I like the guns, but I'm having a hard time with the aim, but I'm sure I'll get it. The border is kind of a pain, but they are made well though. I might try that later, I like diy projects.
@@ArcadePirate I saw your video on making a gun4ir, no way will the price come down if custom made nor should it. That's the price you pay for custom builds, amazing video. Getting some AE light guns in the mail. I might try this soon for fun. Thanks for the awesome video.
For this build I used my old Aimtrak solenoid. I'm using this one in my second build. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VC6R4DH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This for power. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08N6GDZQ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hey @arcade Pirate....i tried contacting Raymond...he does not make the OEM kits anymore....is the OEM kit the first bundle of wires you pulled out...if so do you have a video on how to wire that up that part and what parts we would need?
I think it might be similar tech. I would ask JayBee or Raymond below. I think at the time one sensor bar was probably enough for some people. Not for true light gun fans. 😃
@@ArcadePirate Did this solenoid provide the same force as the Aimtrak solenoid? Is the solenoid in the video the Aimtrak one, because it looks like there's a weighted plunger at the end of it and the one you linked doesn't. Thanks
@@faintandfuzzies Yes the one in the video is from my old Aimtrak light gun. I used this solenoid in my second gun. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VC6R4DH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It does not provide the same amount of force. A little weaker than the Aimtrak solenoid.
@@kevinthorn9672 You need to contact Raymond. He does not have the OEM kits viewable on the site. Kind of like a special order. This video shows you all the parts that comes in this OEM kit.

I have a couple aimtraks. Did you think it was worth it? Did you do it yourself or have rpeg mod it for you?
Great tutorial! For the camera sensitivity, note that you can actually test and change it in real time in the camera tab 😉
Nice work! Love to see this played on Blue Estate.
Wish granted. Check out my new video.

i was laughing at your screen bezel,then i looked @ mine and noticed yours are thinner ...whatta lo.

Very well experienced in great detail.
Thank you for sharing.

Have you changed the power supply since your video?
Can you send me a circuit plan for the analog stick and the two buttons on the grip ? Can i use the analog stick as dpad on the arduino ?
Is there a way to have player 1 and player 2 on two separate screens.
nice build. For the Solenoid, it has two wires. How do you connect it. one wire goes on the solenoid (D7) and where does the other wire connect to?
For the OEM kit it has two wires that are separate from the rest. Normally the same color. You can connect the wires to this location. Doesn't matter the orintation.
I dont know if I want to sell my Sinden guns, but these Gun4IR guns are really pricey though. I hope Andy fixes the software so you only need one running instead of 2 separate programs.
That's why I perchased an OEM kit and made my own. 😃 Maybe he will one day.

Does this mod not require the fish eye lense?
How much do you charge for your services. I would like to have some havok tek juzi nodded to gun4ir.
Reach out to Raymond over at th-cam.com/users/raymonddai
He can assist with custom builds.
What was the size solenoid you used?
For this build I used my old Aimtrak solenoid. I'm using this one in my second build. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VC6R4DH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does the pump button get connected to port 4 on the arduino
You can pick a button. Button A or button B. You can always change the mapping of the buttons in the GUI.
Does this work on a retropie?
Not sure yet. I'm sure someone is working on it.
Is this the same technology of the aimtrak but with four sensors around the screen ??? Why did aimtrak only go for one sensor bar ???
I think it might be similar tech. I would ask JayBee or Raymond below. I think at the time one sensor bar was probably enough for some people. Not for true light gun fans. 😃
Hello @arcade pirate! Which solenoid and weight did you use? I can find things similar but not the one you have. Thanks for your help!
I used this solenoid for my second Gun4IR. www.amazon.com/dp/B07VC6R4DH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_MYPGGW1AEV06MHBXE9DE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The first solenoid was from my old Aimtrak light gun.
