Title: CP Test Complete!
Post by: railz on August 09, 2003, 01:00:37 am

Got my stuff today from Ben so I simply couldn't wait for payday (so I can buy wood, etc) - I had to try it out NOW! :)

Got two sheets or stiff cardboard, designed a quick layout, wired it all up and bam! Worked first time.

Hell, even I was impressed. Well except for the bit that made me wire up and down in reverse :)

I'm having problems working out how those Universal stick bottoms (the housing with the microswitches) stays on the stick though. If I rotate it so it locks, I have to mount the joystick top at a 45 degree angle and it doesn't look right?

Joystick in, but can't figure out how to attach bottom without having to rotate top to 45o

Everything else took about an hour to cut, crimp and connect.

I like labeling wires - even though I still make mistakes

It's Alive!

Proceed to play some Xmen COTA but don't spend too long on it - the cardboard maybe double-thick but it's not really strong enough for prolonged gaming.
