I think that'll work fine (and I'm moving over to 3/4" plywood for the next prototype.) |

Is it just me, or is the octagonal restrictor for the U360 really hard to install? Or are the posts for the octagonal restrictor different than the square/circular restrictors? Seems like the octagonal restrictor needs to be drilled out to be installable if the posts are the same. (I don't have the posts that came with the octagonal restrictor with me at work. . . ) |

Based on my relatively cheap jig saw, I don't think you will be happy with the results of using that to cuto ut your CP. I would use a circular saw if it were me. Alternately, you could use the jig saw to cut the basic shape and then use a straight edge combined with the router to get a nice finished cut. |

Got the two U360's mounted. I think I may have screwed up one of 'em when I took it apart to replace the spring and install the circular restrictor. . it's out of alignment now. :( Hopefully Andy can help me figure out what is going on. Fortnately I have one working one so that I can swap out parts to debug it. . going to wait until I hear from him before I proceed though. I don't have the buttons wired up yet, and I have one properly working U360, so what else could I do. . . . . . PLAY LOTS OF SPED UP MS. PACMAN!!!! :) Man oh man is the U360 with the circular restrictor and hard springs extremely extremely good for this game. My desire for a square restrictor for this game has just gone away. :) Now if I can get the other stick working (before I get the buttons wired up), it's time for some Smash TV and Robotron! I can definitely see progress slowing down as more and more games start working properly. :) |
