cp layout mock-up (completed with mdf build)
« 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)

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.

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.
