mBed controller as GameController
« on: July 10, 2017, 01:31:34 pm »
Hi,

I build a game controller with a mBed 1768 to control my arcade buttons and joystick.
I use a Raspberry Pi 3 with Retropie. The mBed controller reacts on which emulator is started.

Greetings,

Looks really nice. Do you have a bit more info about the software for the led lighting?

I will post the software on my website in the following week.

And the runcommand-onstart and -onend I changed at the Retropie side.

At the moment I only have the controller and a loose Raspberry Pi 3 with touch screen.

So my question is also how to continue?

A.  Full arcade machine
B.  Bar-top
C.  Lap-top

In my opinion the full cab! If not enough space, you might want to consider a less deep cab with a LCD screen.
