The new 2.07 release of the driver software, which allows you to configure and run 2 lightguns in the same software instance.
If you are using an older release of the Sinden driver software, like 1.07 or 1.08, you will need to duplicate the folder with the Sinden software, and run the program twice, once from each folder. Set up each program to connect to one of the guns.
- Use two new Sinden software folders. Do not configure lightgun 1 and then make a copy of the lightgun 1 Sinden folder for lightgun 2.
- Follow the Visual Setup Guide and only have one lightgun plugged in at a time when configuring the Sinden software.
- Recommend to plug in the guns into different buses. Plugging one gun into a front USB port and the other gun into a rear port will usually accomplish this.
- Do not plug in both guns into a hub. Hubs should be avoided if possible. If a hub must be used, only have one gun plugged into it with no other devices.
- Besides the mouse buttons (MouseLeft, MouseRight, MouseMiddle) for trigger, reload, etc., lightgun 2 should have different button assignments for the rest of the buttons (especially start & coin buttons).
- Only the lightgun/Sinden software that is in focus will display the raw video feed in the Configuration tab, not both guns at the same time.
Important note: If you have two guns with the same ID (for instance 2x Blue or 2x Black etc) then please see the Changing the Sinden Camera page
If you have two guns with the same Camera ID (for example both guns have Camera A) then please contact Customer Service at customerservices@sindenlightgun.com
- The new 2.07 release will allow you the run both guns if they have the same Camera ID
