  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Control systems
« on: August 26, 2012, 03:25:39 am »
I was looking at some ideas for creating a control panel for an arcade cabinet project I might end up doing soon, and I would like to see some of the cabinets people have made and the controls they bought for their cabs. I need as much detail as possible so I can decide how I want my control panel to be like. Any suggestions/tips on this will be appreciated.

Hi ndiniz,

Have you seen this thread or this thread?

Lots of good examples there  :).

Also, if you go to the project announcements section of the forums there are lots of well documented builds people are doing/have done.

yeah your best bet is to just pour through the many projects here on the forums. Look in the control panel pic post at the top of the main forum.
also the main forum is where you're best off to post these topics, you'll get more eyes seeing it there.

You and every noob that comes. Also check out....oh, what's that link above....I think it says.....Wiki.

In essence, explore, yo. Then perhaps ask some informed questions.
