Just finishing up my first project the
"Biz Arcade"
Ill try to keep it brief
its a 4 players console, player 1,2 have 6 buttons and player 3,4 have 4 buttons. 4 8-ways joysticks and i got 2 lightguns on the way
Photo 1: As an architect i must say always build a model first!
Photo 2: I used autocad for the 2D plans but you can use Revit for the 3D plans love that program
Photo 3: I used the printed plans for all the cuts and holes easyer then drawing on the wood itself.
Photo 4: Anarchy of wires muhahaha
a lot of work it took to organize this mess.
Photo 5:Art work done by Tamar Zelig to look like an awsome electronic board. THANKS TAMAR!
Photo 6: the final result all the buttons have leds in them all connected to the pc for power, i also had a 2mm plastic laser cutted to protect the artwork and give the console and extra glossy look.
Thats all folks, my first project almost completed, already got plans for a few more. :]
feel free to contact me for questions or original console plans if you want to copy this one.
Biz
P.S
----
If you notice i tried something new with this controller the left side the joystick is on the left and on the other side its on the right
trying to see if i can adapt this for right handed and left handed people...
ill let you people know if it worked out or a big flop, but give me you thoughts as well.
thanks
