After trying a few games I decided to install computer controlled servo motors to switch the joysticks between 4 way and 8 way mode. The last 3 LED clusters are now wired.

Why so high?

A couple of reasons. The first being limited floor space in my shop. Lower limits how close I can set things next to the cabinet. The second is that those will be used for mainly for charging devices, leaving the top to be used as a shelf, and for hooking up my shop webcam. Thumb drives would go in the ones above the keyboard on the front.

While this is more software for the system, it is worth noting that now I can listen to MP3s  :applaud:

Sorry, folks. This project is on hold for a bit while I recover from a heart attack.

Thanks for the well wishes!

I did do a little on it tonight. I finished up the external network jack which was what I was working on when the heart attack started. The first picture is the hinge for the control console lock.

I hope to be back working on this project full swing after next week. I go in Monday for a second stent and should be as good as new after that.
