Optigun/USB2Gun Board now available as open source for anyone to print themselves

[shanki91]

Hi guys,

I've had a talk with NanotechGaming, creator of the Optigun/USB2Gun board. They have agreed to share the gerber files for the board with an open source license. I would have loved to order a bunch and start offering it on this forum but the license is strictly for non commercial use. Any one of you can take these files and use them to order and assemble your own copy on sites like PCBWay.com.

I feel like a lot of development when it comes to lightguns as been focused on getting light guns to work on non-CRTs... it's kind of ridiculous people with gun cabs have even started ripping out their CRTs just so they can get it to work..
I hope with this development we'll see more original lightgun cabs.

Anyway you can find the files here:

https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/ultracade/990-usb2gun-UCT-00.zip

I'll add some mirrors later on.

Cheers and have a good one,
shanki91

Hi! I was going to try to build this, and I submitted the Gerbers to PCBWay, and here's the message I got back:

"Thank you for your support,there is an Engineering question of order W353380AS3D5.
As shown in attached pic, there are two l3 layer designed in your file, pls confirm which one should we follow?"

I am not a PCB designer, so I have ZERO clue. @shanki91 could you help here, or see if you could ping your contact at NanotechGaming to ask?

Thanks!
