Having a 2 year old boy, I think some of you will understand my long absence... but I'm glad to finally have the energy, time, and resolve to get this thing finished! When we last left Batman and Robin...
Okay, so I've painted the control box, followed Saint's instructions for attaching the CP top to the box, and am ready to get the CP rolling. Random photos here, but I managed to get the CP Overlay trimmed up and the joysticks and buttons mounted to get the CPO oriented properly. The trackball fits perfectly and there's no lip to get your hand/fingers pinched in, so I lucked out there.
As you can see, I'm fast approaching the WIRING STAGE... sirens... sirens... I wish I had bookmarked all the great examples of wiring on this site, but if anyone off the top of their heads can point me towards the best tutorials/examples of clean wiring, I'd be eternally grateful.
I have purchased the LEDWiz to light up all those buttons and give them some animation... looking forward to that. The U360s now have the stiffer springs - not a HUGE difference but I'll take it.
I've got the computer configured and ready to install... all that's left is this darn CP. Need to install the t-molding around the edge, wire up the controls, get the trackball and spinner locked in, and start testing.
