Leather covered Cab
skinz:
Stayed up late last night and replaced all the original wiring - New Jamma harness, crimped a new daisy chain ground and bastardized the old CP to get the bits we needed. Scored 100 packs of the quick disconnects for $2.99 per 100 on SleezeBay. I got 2 packs (200) and used 2 quick disconnects :laugh2:. Props to my buddy Miggitymac for help wiring up the monitor,etc. Some basic solders this morning an it should be all hooked up - Got the CP all wire an working - all buttons and joysticks working (already not sure I like the 8 ways - they feel weird). Now we just need to find the damn zip ties and make it look pretty inside - We couln't find them last night so we used some masking tape to separate everything. I bought a huge pile of ties - Can't find them>>>>>YET. LOL
Again, we got soft 15k working and still everything is way too big - Can't figure out what I'm supposed to do - Do I Install all the stuff on Soft 15K like 31 etc. Hating this part - Still.
I'll try and take a video after work today of the monitor issue - I really need help on this.

Wow, that cab looks luxurious! Sorry, I don't have a clue about the monitor deal. I think you should post it up in Monitor/Video.
About the LED's, are you going to wire them up in series or parallel? I've never had to wire up more than one at a time.
miggitymac:
So close yet so far away. Could hardly believe we got the AGP Garphics card to work with soft15k. Atleast to a degree. Now projecting to Arcade monitor but in the wrong resolution. The entire CP works perfectly after getting that all wired up. I also did the soldering for the RGB, Sync and Ground to the old arcade monitor. Works fine. It was a great weekend of work. Lots got done as you can see. Thanks Skinz! Always my pleasure to work on this project with you. Its so darn cool....

Watched a million Youtube videos on wiring LED's. Pretty interesting stuff out there. I'm want use a breadboard setup like this and put the LED's in the back of the holes and see how it looks. This kid is where i started. A lot of info in a short video.
I got a gift card for Radio Shack so.... ...I need approx 75 LED's (on a 12v)????
Does this look right?
miggitymac:
Sweet! I think we can handle wireing up the LEDs like that no problem.
