As stated in Part 2, this connector is pinned backward from the LED boards. This is the output connector for the LED board chain. Pin 1 of each connector is toward top of photo The pinout on this does have some minor differences in the gun connector from the older through-hole style PCB above, and those differences are noted in the pinout information below.

However some other titles used this board in a serial configuration with the “OUT” connector not populated and CN4 and CN5 populated instead. The one below is setup for analog output and was used on Time Crisis 4 as well as Lindbergh and RingWide era Sega releases. The newer style SMD gun sense board shipped in a number of different configurations. Pin 1 of each connector is towards top of photo. This pinout information is primarily for the older 838-13146 / 838-13143-# PCBs These are easily identified as they use the larger through-hole style components as seen below. Any game that uses analog inputs for it’s gun positioning (whether it originally shipped with a Sega/OHMIC setup or not) should be compatible with an “analog output” type gun sense board. LEDs and Sensors from a “serial output” system should still be compatible with an “analog output” gun sense board, it’s just that the gun sense board needs to be matched to the requirements of your game board. Though in the “board variations” section at the end I will show both types so that you can easily tell them apart. Some time in the future, I might tackle that subject, but for the sake of this write up we will only be covering the “analog output” systems. It’s unclear if all serial type boards output data the same way. However, While most Sega Gun Sense Boards from Model 3 up through the Lindbergh operate by providing it’s gun position data with an analog signal, some other versions do not produce an analog output but instead transmit their positional information via a RS-232 Serial Connection. There are many variations of these PCBs and just like the LED boards an IR Sensor Board the Gun Sense Boards are largely interchangeable and cross-compatible. In this Part I’m going to discuss the Gun Sense Board often referred to as the “Gun IO”.Īnalog Communication vs Serial Communication the “Gun Sense” board (essentially the Gun IO). A chain of 10 or 12 Addressable IR LED boards explicitly positioned around the parameter of the displayĢ. Here in Part 4 I’m going to cover the Gun Sense Board and Protection BoardĪs stated in part 1 there are essentially 3 parts to this setup,ġ.

In Part 2 I broke down the details of the LED board, in Part 3 I broke down the details of the Sega/IR Sensor Board.
