MK II Control Panel Joy/Button Placement

<< < (2/3) > >>

JayB:
Thanks for the replies and the concern regarding the artwork guys. It's mainly for the joy placement primarily on the panel as I will be using a 7 button curved layout along side it. It's working out how the original MK is placed as I have no reference of measurements at the moment to guide me. Is it central and how far in from the edges etc

Just to mention the artwork, I won't be using placement graphics around the button holes. I've based my theme ideas around two divides of the main panel and player start buttons at the top so it doesn't limit me as such.

Zebidee, thanks for the great offer, that's extremely helpful. I will drop you an email if that's ok.

i have an actual MK control panel sitting in my basement collecting dust.  my brother saved it from the dumpster when he used to work at a vending company.  the corners are a little banged up, but i'm sure i could get some measurements for you

Malenko:
my MKII machine isnt here nor is my KI1, but my KI2 says the player 1 stick is 5 inches from the left edge of the CP, and 7 inches up from the bottom. The Player 2 stick is 10 inches from the right edge and 7 inches up from the bottom.

If someone else wants the file, here is the link (for as long as it remains):

Note however that you might want to play with the dimensions a little to suit your particular setup, before drilling holes.

Thanks  for the measurements Malenko. That's quite interesting when viewed on the CPO as I think this is why I have been perplexed about the placings for mine. If you were to have asked me initially I would have said split the panel into two sections , P1 & P2, and then measure in from the left and then duplicated the placings layout to match on the right player 2 side guided from the middle. I hope that makes sense  :lol  They are actually offset to the right, which does make sense thinking about it now, so that the view for both players is near central for the screen.

I wonder, do most people when designing their panel use a split and duplicate equal method as I would have or is it good practice to take their offsets as being the standard?

Thanks Zebidee, have just downloaded the file so will load that up later on my other computer to have a good look.

I've posted up the test layout of my CPO. I used part of the design from one that was posted a while back on here, I will credit it when I'm back in front of my other computer. As I said I am undecided as yet what theme to go with hence the hold up on finishing my machine  :timebomb: :lol . White placings for buttons and black to show the P1 & P1 coin and start. Any criticism or tips would be greatly appreciated....as I am a first timer  :cheers:
