Title: Need help with control panel!!!! Templates!! Please help
Post by: hawaiianluau on December 10, 2006, 06:25:02 pm

I just built my very first arcade. The paint is drying on the cabinet right now. Now I need to design the control panel. Does anyone have the templates for any of the following. I want to be able to print them off so I can cut them out and lay it out before I begin cutting.              I want to use all Happ parts.
A six button layout.
Happ Perfect 360 joystick
Happ Super Joystick
Happ 3" Trackball
Please help.

p360 and super have the same holes so this template will work for both

print "current view" "no scaling"  the trackball plate should fit on one page and you can print another page for the other stuff

unzip and open with adobe acrobat reader

Works for me.  It contains the file "Joy & track Template.ai"

I can't get the zip file to open either. Tried both winzip and winrar without success. Can the author print to pdf so folks don't have to hassle with an Adobe Illustrator file?

Thanks!!

The file opens fine for me... Perhaps you're using an earlier version of Winzip??

I tried to open it with ZipItFast and it came back with "Header error... (missing or corrupt), Continue?"  I click yes and the file is there but I don't have the proper program to read the .ai on this machine so I'll have to try it at home.

For the 6 button SF layout just space each button 1-3/8" on center and it will come out perfect.  The buttons will have a 1/8" spacing between bezels.

Here is a PDF I grabbed years back that I use for my layouts.  I just print off pieces as I need them.  It might help some.  Or maybe not.
