hello,Seanwheels here I am a quadriplegic I posted here a couple weeks back asking for information or assistance I am willing to pay someone for parts time and trouble of assisting me to build an arcade type controller for my Place station I can used arcade type joysticks and I can use arcade type buttons. I have a Sony Play station until and the controllers are just too small for me to use them if I could build to a larger version proximal for 20 in. long by 9 in. wide the joysticks located approximately 8in from each side with two buttons of located on each side with 4 buttons located on each side of each Joy stick in a pattern similar to the human hand standing on edge on top of the joystick platform before I was injured by was a fabricator and machinist for Titan motorcycle company before that I was a stage rigger ido understand mechanics and if I had functional use of my hands I could build what I need but if that was the case then I would not need 1 right if any 1 of the members of this forum has the expertise that I need to complete this project I really would appreciate your assistance if I could do it myself I would unfortunately I'm kinda short on family and the maintenance man in the nursing-home and I am currently stuck in was not mechanically inclined enough to attach my play station to my television.

Hi Sean! Welcome to the board! Post your location, perhaps someone nearby can help you with things you may need. |

Sean, Welcome to the board! I am going to see if I can sketch something based on your description to see if I understand what you are thinking about. We're gonna get this sorted out. It would help to know where you are located too. |

So working off this description, "a larger version proximal for 20 in. long by 9 in. wide" "the joysticks located approximately 8in from each side" "two buttons of located on each side" "4 buttons located on each side of each Joy stick - in a pattern similar to the human hand standing on edge on top of the joystick platform" I threw something together with visio to see if this is what you are looking for or something similar. Are you looking for something more like the PS2 controller itself? I put in two different button layouts as I am having a hard time understanding, "...human hand standing on edge on top of the joystick platform" Take a look and let me know what needs to be changed. |

May I suggest overlaying a GRID (1 inch squares) on top of your diagram, and then labelling each line across the top with letters (A, B, C...) then label the lines down the side with numbers (1, 2, 3...) This way Sean can more easily describe where parts need to be moved and how far. ~Ray B. |
