A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
Aceldamor:
Hey Doc,
Found a cool mouse for your Cab...
Gizmodo
drventure:
:)
Pretty cool. I think I'd make it wireless though.
I like the concept of that red light "lighting up your palm from underneath".
I've actually been toying with the idea of cobbling together a "sonic screwdriver" with a wiimote in it for a mouse. But, given that the way I've got my trackball and buttons configured, that they work pretty well for what limited mouse stuff I need to do on the cab, i'll probably wait on that particular project.
Besides, I +REALLY+ want to get a working steam/smoke generator hooked into it somehow now
Aceldamor:
I know it's a small scale, but have you looked into the smoke generating devices on HO scale model railroad engines? Perhaps you can glean inspiration from one of those.
drventure:
Yes, actually, that's +exactly+ what I've been looking at. They're typically wired for 12v, so that's easy. And they aren't terribly expensive. I'm just wondering about the smoke fluid reservoir and whether the stuff evaporates quickly. It'd suck to have to refill it every time I turn on the cab...
Aceldamor:
You could make a tank that feeds the device. IIRC, a few drops of smoke lasted a while...though it wasn't a ton of smoke. It almost looked like cigarette smoke coming out of the engine. It was a cool effect for model railroading though.
I wonder if you could scale it up to perhaps "O" scale, or something that might give you a bit more "umph".
