Title: cp layout mock-up (completed with mdf build)
Post by: spllbnd2 on December 31, 2005, 04:01:45 pm

 Here is my cp layout that I've mocked up on cardboard. So far I found the joysticks and buttons are to close and there for will be moving the buttons slightly.
 I will also be adding a t-stick for a dedicated 4way.



CP consists of:
 2 P360 (simply awesome)
 Tempest Spinner from Oscar controls (exact replica of original, as I own an original Tempest spinner)
 Happs 3" HighLip Trackball with red boards
 Transluesent buttons (micro switch style, may go for the leaf style)

Took a really cool pic with natural light shining in from behind. Just had to post it. :)

My personal preference would be to have the buttons physically closer together so that your fingers don't get fatigued being further apart than normal.

Also, the T-stick feels worlds different than the P360s.  I would highly recommend getting a Happ reunion stick or a Wico 4-way instead.

Looks good.  Very clean design.

Well, I've finally finished my first wood cp.
Working on a test panel of mdf for paint before I actually paint the cp. Also need to cut plexi and recess trackball. I did wire everything up and did play test it.
Very cool and everything came together better than expected for my first cp.

Wiring, It took me a couple of evenings to get everything nice and tidy.
