Domush / OpenGun

A project to replicate the Sega IR gun technology used on arcade machines to this day.

OpenArcadeGun

This repo has turned into somewhere that I've dumped any code written to attempt to support light guns. Inside is IR based, Light tracking CRT based and IMU (Gyro + Accel) based code. Some of the code is snipped from other people, if you want it taken down please just create an issue and I will remove it.

Initial Readme

A project to produce hardware to tracker an infrared cameras point angle at a screen

Protocol

Initially the arduino should output essentially a stream of comma seperated values which are the X and Y coordinates scaled between 0 and 255 (1 byte) along with the trigger status (0 off, 1 on).

Below is an example of the stream you might expect:

0,0,0
0,10,0
10,0,1
253,222,0
50,24,0

Parts

Requires:

• 1 x DFRobot IR Sensor
• 8 x IR LEDs with resistors
• 1 x Switch for trigger

Setup

LEDs should be setup around a screen like this

0    1    2
          
8         3
          
7    5    4
