Another 3 control panels waiting for their buttons....
Sanding time this evening ... I hate sanding! 😭😭😭
Maybe too early, but can't wait to share this pic ;-)
Soooo, I finally finished the new CPO! With micro switch, with exactly the same touch and the same sound as the big arcade cabinet! Actually, I use very similar micro switch as the original cabinet, just more tiny! I'm very satisfy with the result!
The most dificult aspect to build a control panel with this mini size, are to find on the electronics market, the right component... Some months ago, after lot and lot of research on internet of many countries, I finally had found an acceptable button (in blue on the pics, not the buttons caps). Main criterion was the "sensation", not too hard, not too soft, and with a "good" sound. The red ones are good, but without a nice sound, and the black ones, are really too hard, and the sound was very bad :-( Okey, these blue buttons was not really what I expected, but impossible to found better ones :-( Finally, I bought 50 pieces of this buttons some couple of months ago, and now, the manufacturer has stopped this product :-( very bad news! I decided to build the buttons myself, with the "right sound" and the nice "touch". keep posted this week end!
Some modifications are needed on my CNC machine :-( and as usual, something went wrong, the mother board as no standard schema for I/O. I will probably spent lot of time to identify each command signal :-(
BEST PIC ever! ;-) so cool place! :-) so many thanks for this pic!!!!!
