Some blue LED's on the bottom pointing down & out would really look cool.

Hey, does your hacked gamepad have force-feedback? Wire up some superbrights to strobe whenever the FF gets triggered.

I hate to keep posting just to take up bandwidth but I found a better way to mount the sanwa buttons

BLAM!

Thats pretty slick, Timoe.

I like the new avatar too. You practicing your Photoshop?

I wish, I am planning on teaching myself with some online tutorials but the last couple of days I've been in the shop building panels for folks. That avatar was made by someone over at the Shoryuken forums.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Here are some updated designs. I found a way to slim down the size of the stick quite a bit.

Also, I added the Coin/Select button with the start button on the back for Kentoad

That is friggin' awesome Timoe...

Timoe · « **Reply #88 on:** May 20, 2007, 02:44:22 pm »

Thanks again. I used more dowels on these. Here is a diagram showing where they are.

javeryh · « **Reply #89 on:** May 20, 2007, 04:23:13 pm »

You sure are whipping these things out. They are so cool! You make me want to give one a try - too bad I've got a wet cabinet in the shop/garage so I can't use the table saw right now or else it would be on.

NiteWalker · « **Reply #90 on:** May 20, 2007, 06:46:59 pm »

Slick design.

Supersweet!!!!

I love them, amazingly clean design.

I'll take 5% commission for the use of my suggestion.

Timoe, you build the ---smurfing--- coolest panels. No-one does it better.

One word: Awesome!

theCoder · « **Reply #93 on:** May 21, 2007, 09:52:39 am »

The dowel pins add a lot of strength. Nice design.

Hmmm...
That's a interesting technique YOU found there!

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=62819.0

Along with the "Designed to fit in a flat rate box concept!

At any rate... Nice looking sticks, Wish I still had time to build more myself.

Wow guy, if the search function worked, or better yet if I actually used the search function I might have seen your old boxes. Good job. Your sticks look nice.

Here are some pics from our first happy customer. (Wiring, art and part installation by Customer - Urth)

Dont forget I still have a trackball that belongs to you. We gotta get that in a project somehow!

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #100 on:** June 03, 2007, 10:48:32 am »

Yeah I know lol. I might end up selling it since I'm doing the bartops now. I'm going to order one that I'm going to put together for myself this week with an ultrastick. The one for my dad I'll still need help on because I wanna do the two magstick plus joysticks on.

theCoder · « **Reply #101 on:** June 03, 2007, 11:21:54 am »

I'd recommend going with socket head screws instead of Philips on the Plexiglas. They come in flat head like your current screw, or you can go with a button head. IMHO, they look more professional than Philips heads.

Congrats on your first sale. You should sell a bunch. Hopefully you can get the process down so that you don't make $0.24 per hour for your labor. Looks great!

Awesome. Actually, we offer a range of decorative screws. This guy wanted those screws. I gotta look into the alan style or button heads

Tim I pmed you let me know if you got it as Im not sure it went through. IT was a question about these sticks.

Where's my 5% commission.

Keep up the good work.

thanks, we've really found our niche with these little sticks. I've already built 3 more but I cant post pics until they are complete. We're just waiting on parts. They are getting crazy now. I cant wait to share.

And Kaytrim, thats one heck of a bartop you've built.

Thanks, there was a heck of a lot of work in that thing.

If I can get the trackball to work 100% then it'll be golden.
