Well, I'm following this diagram, but with little luck at present, even using an Atari VCS... I shall keep trying... You will need: 1x LM 555 timer IC 2x 10K resistors 1x 100nF capacitor 1x 0.42nF capacitor 1x on/off switch |

On this page I found that Namco has been making communication aids for severely disabled people since 1985 http://www.cgexpo-uk.co.uk/forum/index.php?s=275c4ad9664a38f8e1ce36e95d4c103f&showtopic=95 Lots of other good links there too Maybe you can get some ideas from what other people are already doing |

I really like this idea :) I was building a 1 handed playstation controller for my cousins (he was born with a stump so he can only play 1 handed basiclly) Believe it or not i got all the button on the joystick the only buttons you couldnt touch quickly was select and start which is fine he played fighters mostly so he could do anymore i could :) But i really like your idea check out: http://www.smspower.org/smscartpad/rfu.htm Picture of how to build a rapid fire unit for SMS but the sms is direct on/off switches so it can be hooked into the namco thing easily :) |

So far (progress is very slow) - The NAMCO 5in1 TV game was fine in adapting for plug-in switch use. However, I've only managed to get one fire activation every 6 seconds - my "not very rapid fire" circuit. Strangely, rapid fire is fine on other adapted devices, such as my adapted Namco Arcade Stick. I'm thinking of abandoning this project in favour of a much more versatile system of a lap-top controlling a games console... Thanks all for your help so far though. Barrie www.OneSwitch.org.uk |
