Controller Board Construction
By feldgendler. Monday, 21. January 2008, 20:00:00
We decided that our controller board would have a trackball in the middle (it's a modern arcade that can browse the web, too!) and two joysticks, one for each player. On each player's side, there would be a set of buttons:
- Four general purpose gaming buttons
- A Start button
- One of the mouse buttons that work together with the trackball
- Pause button on the left side and exit button on the right
The top view of the controller board layout has been printed out to guide us when making the board. Adam drilled the holes for buttons and joysticks and cut the big hole for the trackball with the hole saw.
Also, Arjan and Adam made some parts of the cabinet really smooth with the help of sanding paper.
