For me personally, the most interesting aspects of this project are the new power circuit (always helpful!) and the […]

Last year, I spoke to Charlie Cole, who came up with a way to play lightgun games on a flat-screen TV (originally called the “LCDZapper Pro”) using the Wiimote. His invention is now going through a “test run” and it looks like he’s added many improvements since we last spoke! The kit starts as a $90 […]
