Hello, All Maybe someone has a Light Gun diagram with a description?

Hello BYTEMAN Try looking up a light pen, it seems like it’s already been discussed.

Hello BYTEMAN From the FAQ this shouldn't be on the button pen????!!!!! Are you also going to classify the light from the window as bytes??? in the meantime, guide my monitor to the desired point???? or how to poke a bush with a dart

Hello fan fan> Try searching for a light pen, it seems like it’s already been discussed. I found it on trd.speccy.cz, but that’s not it. The light gun should have button, but not on the pen. Will this gun work with BYTE? Will the ports conflict?

Hello,geners I bought a Light Gun on Ebay, when it arrives I can open it. (They promised to send a book with a description)

From Vladimir Kladov To All 17 May 2006

Hello,geners The light pen is used to poke at the screen. There is a button in it, but it is located like once at the end of the light pen, when you poke at the screen, it presses in. S.P. obviously not for games, but rather for graphic applications.

Hello, Vladimir Kladov Vla> There is a button in it, but it is located right at the end of the light Vla> of the pen when you poke at the screen one of the variations, and not the most successful :(, in my opinion, on graphic stations there was a EU series. There were options with a separate button

From Alexander Zan To All 18 May 2006

Hello,geners gen> I think it was on the EU series graphics stations. Text terminals definitely had the size of an armor-piercing cartridge :) On the screen poked with wild effort and wild clicking, but this is nothing compared to the wild flash :D

S.P. obviously not for games Vla> is more likely for graphical applications. Not always. Sometimes the button was made to fit the finger. However, the pen is synchronized by beam sweep. On old video cards you can even read from registers the current position of the beam (more precisely, the pixel scanner), just for the pens it was done. I agree about graphic applications, pens were made exclusively for CAD. But, IMHO, it’s inconvenient... Your hand gets tired. Light Gun, most likely, should also catch the sweep, but since there are no registers beam position, a calibration procedure is needed relative to the SSI to which it is linked INT.
