I need help installing arcade sensors

I have 16 extra blueshark arcade sensors and a homemade pad like a cobalt flux. Now the pad materials are superb but the sensors are not.

Would be possible to put arcade sensors in this pad? I wanted to put 4 per arrow but I can't find any previous articles/faqs on how to install arcade sensors in home pads or how the wiring would work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

What exactly are you having issues with? There are certain things about arcade sensors that I do know and certain things that I do not.

Is there even enough room in your pad for the sensors to fit?

I would have to chisel out some wood but there is enough room. I just dont know what to hook the sensors up to (computer chip? or just to the control box). Im also not sure if 4 sensors per arrow will work and Im not sure if I need to put anything above the sensors where the arrow will go over them. I could send you a picture if needed to show you what Im trying to do if you think its possible.
Thanks

i know that the blueshark pads use 2 sensors per arrow, and thats what mine is going to use also (with my own sensors of course)

the arcade sensors should just have 2 wires coming out, one is ground/common and then other is the live wire.

just wire them up so when either one is hit, it activates the arrow on the control box

its really not hard at all; i would help more, but i have work and finals coming up for school...so iono if i will be around much for the next week or so
