Let me know if you can and how much. They'll go great in my xbox 360 bartop I'm working on. :cheers: --- End quote --- I have zero free time :'( (all the time I spend on BYOAC is while I'm at work :lol ), but I'll attach the png here when I get home. I printed out extra and only had to redo one or two buttons. If there is still a complete set there, I'll mail it to you for free. You'll have to place them on the button inserts and trim around them with an x-acto knife. CoryBee is using the same clear labels to make serial plates. He might have the time to make some up for you if you wanted a different font or something. The png I made up had a lot of blank buttons on it that will work as a template. |

The outlines on these sheets are slightly larger than the inserts in Seimitsu buttons. The smaller circles inside the bottom row are for 24mm buttons. At 300dpi, these should print the correct size if you uncheck "fit picture to frame" in the stupid windows photo helper thing. They did for me anyway. Your mileage may vary, use at your own risk, etc. Here is the method I used to apply them, but I'm sure there are other ways to go about it. 1. Print on an Avery 18665 full sheet clear label. 2. Cut them into smaller, more manageable pieces containing four labels. 3. Placed them face down and peel the backing off. 4. Carefully place a Semitsu insert in the center of each circle. 5. Cut them apart so you can work with one at a time. 6. Using a fresh x-acto blade, trim around the edge of the insert, removing the circle you used as a guide. |

Time to get back to work on all my unfinished projects! :timebomb: This one is high priority as crossbreed900 has been waiting a crazy long time. :-[ Although I'm still unsure about the durability of the ALPS joysticks, we are moving forward with them rather than paying over $300 for the Happs. Worst case scenario is they don't last long and crossbreed gives me feedback about everything that needs to be changed on the next CP. I had a friend make adapters to attach Sanwa bat-tops to the ALPS joysticks. Unfortunately he broke his tap of the needed size and gave them back to me unfinished. He sent me a link to a set of taps(taper, plug, bottom) to finish the job and I ordered them, but I didn't get around to attempting it until last night. It went surprisingly well. It drives me nuts that one bat-top appears larger than the other in all the pics. It should be the same size, but I might move it onto the D-Pad stick just to be sure. So here are the sticks. The D-Pad will use a Sanwa JLF with octagon restrictor. Adapters probably could have been a bit longer, but we'll work with it. Next step is figuring out how to mount them. The holes in the corners of the plastic bodies of the ALPS sticks are extremely small in diameter. I'll probably mount them to a plate and then mount the plate to the CP, similar to how the JLF mounts. Also need to pick up 2.5mm jacks for optional bite switches. The ones radioshack had were pretty shallow for mounting in wood. I'm hoping to find some longer ones online (haven't looked yet). I already have the CP box made, but must have deleted the pics from my phone. Here is the layout. Keep in mind that crossbreed900 will be pecking the buttons with his pinky knuckle and we need to keep enough clearance between the joystick and buttons that his hands don't get in the way of each other when doing so. These analog sticks lean over farther than standard ones. The buttons are close together in case he has to quickly move from one to the other or press two simultaneously with the side of his fist. |
