rayzor753 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks. Yea, things will be on hold for a couple weeks anyway. Once we get our routine down, and I get the wife to let me out on Saturdays again, we'll get going on the control panel. We still gotta get a few parts before we get rolling on it anyway.

rayzor753 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Ordered the 3" TrackBall in Blue from TwistedQuarter today. http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=98&products_id=666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzor753 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Received the trackball! ( It was waiting for me at work when I got back from my week off ) It's pretty nice. Has a light under the trackball to light it up. Didn't expect that, but cool. This trackball has built in support for 3 buttons as well. It pretty much just works like a big mouse. The 3 buttons (when/if connected) act like a left, right, and middle mouse button. I think I'm gonna wind up ordering 2 more buttons and install them for a left and right click. I don't think I'd need a 3rd for a center mouse button click does anyone here feel otherwise? It can be hooked up either with the PS/2 or the USB connectors. Zac and I will, hopefully, get back to work on our poor arcade this Saturday. ( keeping my fingers crossed ). **(Update - ordered 3 black buttons for the trackball)** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BitMonk Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'd say no to the third button. I have a similar setup and just use 2, one for the left and right mouseclick. Oh and I'd definitely flushmount the trackball and cover the mounting plate, looks much nicer in my opinion. It's a bit of a pain to route out the 1/16" for the plate to get it to seat level but worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie1212 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I also use black buttons for the trackball. Left and right buttons only andthe third one is on the left side of the others is used as the ENTER key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'll be playing missile command, and it would suck to not be able to unleash all of the missiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayzor753 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Zac and I didn't get as much done today as we had hoped to, but we started on the control panel. Started programming the CNC machine but ran out of time. Hopefully we'll have some more updates by the end of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzor753 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Zac and I were able to work on the control panel some more Saturday night thanks to my Dad. Zac will be posting an update with pictures and probably a video soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZacUSNYR Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yea we didn't get a lot done but we got enough done to say we did something lol Started the day off by having ray update a ton of software on the machine and make the HS install cooler Then cut out the control panel piece (twice, since I dropped it and crushed a corner) heh Then we brought it over to Ray's fathers garage and we got to designing the button layout. Then we put Ray's father to work. Took a Sega 8-button layout, spaced out the joystick more and dropped 2 buttons. (we're doing a 6 button layout) Then we ran it on some scrap (which was warped) and figured we'd just go for it. Now we just gotta get a piece of plexi and cut the holes out for the joystick/buttons/trackball in that. We're still working on the control panel, need to get the P1/2 buttons/esc button/ and the trackball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZacUSNYR Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 SzmU9QTV3IE CNC on crack - yes it takes awhile in real life speed, 30 seconds in the youtube clip made from over 4 minutes of video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrusnagisa Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I would do 4 on bottom and 3 on top if your going with that setup, that way you can play NEP GEO the right way ;p looking nice though, can not wait to see the whole thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
