EMS LCD Top Gun IR Camera

Hey! i have an old Top Gun with this IR Camera:

it has 6 solder points and is able to see at least 4 LEDs. Linux Driver here: https://github.com/Ansa89/topgun-linux-driver

Will this ever work as a DF Robot replacement?

If it's not pin-compatible with a Wii Remote camera and doesn't use the same I2C stream and protocol, then no. Currently this project (and by extension, GUN4IR & SAMCO) are only made to work with the Pixart sensors found in Wii Remotes, which are what DFRobot sells as the SEN0158 module. Any other sensor would require a rework of the whole DFRobotIRPositionEx library to accommodate, and a couple of other logistical matters that just doesn't make it feasible or desirable--besides that, EMS Top Guns are rare, while used or for-parts Wiimotes are dirt cheap, so it's not worth the hassle for the one or two people comfortable gutting that gun.

Okay, i should re-assemble asap.
