If it turns out to not be enough, I'll put a large nylon washer on one of the bolts between the T-track to the CP. The current washers are small so there is clearance. A larger one would drag against the edges of the bottom channel and resistance could be adjusted by tightening the nut inside the CP. I don't think it will be necessary though. The Sanwa JLFs I'm using are fairly short and have light springs, so there isn't much leverage. It might be a different story with a traditional arcade stick. |

A quick search on ebay turned up this one which is 2"/sec : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Linear-Actuator-6-inch-stroke-35-lbs-force-12VDC-Progressive-Automations-Inc-/281169914543?hash=item4177086aaf Followed that to their website, which has some crazy fast 9"/sec ones! http://www.progressiveautomations.com/actuators-tubular-high-speed-linear-actuator-c-68.aspx --- End quote --- Thanks, but i think 1.5''/sec is fast enough, judging by your video. Or would you have preferred a faster one for your cabinet? |

I think the speed of mine is perfect, but you could slow a faster one down in the pololu software. If I could find more like mine for the same price, I'd buy a couple more. sent from my phone while driving |

Awesome work so far man. Keep it up. I look forward to seeing this thing completed. |

Any feedback on my serial plate? (wording and possible missing punctuation is true to the original) Original for reference: I was going to do a play on SNK. I did SKUNK in the original lettering (as in skunkworks), but I wanted the BYOAC atom logo on there too and it was just too crowded. I plan to use adhesive to attach it to the cab instead of screws since that's how the original ones were. Also threw together a quick PC game layout using MKK wallpaper. I'm unsure if the vid window will play widescreen. I'm hoping so. I'm in the process of downloading vids from youtube, but can't find exactly what I want, so will have to edit them. Left to do: >Set up Pololu servo controller & joychoose to control 4/8 way switching. >Make default instruction card for the move list holder that will rest at the bottom of the monitor bezel. >Add AHK scripts for some of the PC games to hide the mouse pointer >Artwork should be done before too much longer, when that's done I'll get into cutting the final CP top, plexi, etc. |
