Been going back and forth with this for a couple of days trying to understand how to integrate the two Zapper NES controller pins. There's romhacks that make a zapper usable on any type of display http://neslcdmod.com/schemes/
Got it wired in the same way as above with trigger to arduino pin 5 and the light sensor to arduino pin 6, I'm able to make the light sensor return a signal (all controller buttons+dpad flicker on and off quickly as I point the zapper at a light), the wiring and light sensing works great. But I can't figure out how to code it to make the trigger and light sensor convert into a single on/off USB controller button press when they activate.
Would be great to have the two unused zapper pins integrated for the RetroJoystickAdapter project, for an all-in-one 2x controller adapter and zapper adapter.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
