Console Joysticks in the Works. - NEW PHOTOS!! UPDATED 2/14/09!
Gatsu:
Haven't made any progress the past few days. Been taking a break over the weekend. But I'll be back on it hardcore Monday afternoon once I get out of work.
I think I just wanted to chill out with my girlfriend and relax.
Also....after I get a few of these sticks done, Im gonna make a new project announcement. >:D
Seems I have no patience and I cannot wait till next summer to get a cabinet built.
Gatsu:
Well got the first customers box assembled, the top and bottom plexi pieces cut out and drilled. Just gotta sand the case and primer it tomorrow. Then sand lightly.....reprimer. let it sit overnight.
Then probably 2-3 coats of black. then a final coat of blue along the edges. Mount the PCB, place the art and plexi, add buttons & joystick, final enclosure. Final test....then mail that ---smurfette--- off.
Should be done by Friday Im hoping.
Kaytrim:
Make sure you give the paint a few days to cure before you install the stick and buttons. I didn't one time and had to start over with the paint.
TTFN :cheers:

Gatsu:
oh yeah. Im gonna make sure it sits for a good 2 days at least once I apply the last coat. Gonna sand a bit between coats so that last one will be nice and smooth.
the nice thing about the stick I had to repaint, it doesnt have to be perfect since its gonna have Silent Hill art on it. ;)
Gatsu:
FINISHED!!!!!! Well...with the prototype one anyways....lol.
These are just quicky photos. I'm gonna rig up a nice backdrop with some real lights to get some better photos.
Nothing like a great sense of accomplishment.
It works on the PSone, Ps2 and PC(with adapter of course).
The wiring is a little sloppy...but hey its a prototype. Sort of a "hey...this wasn't so bad!". lol.
From this one stick I learned alot. Bondo is your friend. Always double check your connections. Cut the plexi BEFORE you assemble the case. Sand....alot.
Theres alot more....but Im not gonna say it all.
I DEFINITELY need to find an easier way to mount the PCB. With as little room as their is in the case, I need to figure a way to glue it down or something....the tiny screws I found are unruly and just pull right out. No grip whatsoever.
:cheers: ;D ;D
