Star Wars Controller how to?
« on: January 04, 2015, 02:49:56 pm »
I finally got ALL my Bills paid up...

So this year I plan to finally get my arcade project going.

I want two MAME machines done.
1- An all purpose machine for the likes of Qbert, Pac-Man, Popeye, TMNT, Simpsons, etc.
2- a dedicated Star Wars/Jedi. Spy Hunter, Paperboy cabinet.

the first Order of business for my 3D Printer is to print the star wars controller in full scale, after I design it in 3D pieces.   But, I'd need the electronics for the inside and a how to assemble them article, if such things exist.

can anyone point me in the right direction?

Good luck 3D printing a SW yoke frame that will hold up to the forces generated during gameplay.

The how-to-assemble part is here in the wiki.

The electronic part is an analog encoder like KADESTICK. (see sig, several posts in the thread have info like SW yoke pinouts, etc.)

You should consider reaching out to user HairyDVD.  He was looking to reproduce a star wars yoke

The main chassis is built like a tank.  There are so many welds in the yoke housing, I bet you could drive an 18 Wheeler over it.
