PCP w/artwork (My Portable Control Panel)
jmike:
;D Well I managed to work on my CP some more. Here are the pics (sorry for the poor quality, I'm actually using my cell phone to take the pics).
For the walls of the unit I didn't want to add more weight so I used thin panel wood. I will paint them white until I decide if I'm going to put some artwork on them. Also since I have someone working on the CP artwork I decided to bevel the trackball plate so everything is level (which I know is the right way to do it.) My router decided to cooperate this time :applaud:

Ill be interested to see this develop as well! :)

;D Had a little more time to work on my Portable Control Panel. All the wall panels are up and painted, As for the 2nd and 3rd pic below ??? yes, it looks weird but let me explain. The original idea was to be able to roll out my PCP in front of a 32" TV I have inside a closet(which will have shelves of collectible street fighters, Mortal Kombat and other figures). And when the 32 inch screen won't do, that weird white shelf is for my Projector. I'll try to take some more pics this week to give you a better idea.

;D Sorry for the delay. Well sad to say my artwork for the CP never made it in time. I decided to start wiring without any for now. Well it really wasn't as bad as I thought of course I haven't plugged it in yet to see if it works so :o we'll see what happens. Here's what I've been working on.
The only problem I might have is that the pause and escape buttons are above the trackball which I might hit by accident when setting a new driving record on the golf course ;D. Also I still have to do the wiring for the LED lights in the buttons. Will keep you posted.

Looks great so far. How do you like the ultralux buttons. I just got mine in, but haven't started wiring them up. The definately feel different that the happs on my other mame machine, but they seem pretty simple to wire.
