DDR board for the Dreamcast.

Combust — Thu, 10/06/2010 - 2:02pm

Another (Completed!!) project is a DDR (Dance dance revolution) board for the Dreamcast.

I will let the pictures speak for themselves but it is made of MDF with thin aluminium sheet contact cemented down over the top, L-brackets and polycarbonate squares for the pads. Wiring it up was as easy as soldering to the correct buttons on the control pad.

Nice one! What are the switch contacts on the pads made out of? Any problems with durability?

The contacts are just micro

The contacts are just micro switches that are in contact with the polycarbonate squares. The mounting points for them are adjustable so you can minimise issues with timing.

All I can say is its solid. No problems with anything wearing out so far Smile

I think ill be able to do

Combust — Wed, 23/06/2010 - 10:43am

I think ill be able to do that. It was created by me so there are no plans as such but I can definately give dimensions and materials (And tips!). Give me a few days and ill get them together.

Few weeks, 3 months...

Few weeks, 3 months... hehe

 

No dimentions yet but i have the following materials:

MDF 200mm from memory = Bunnings

Thin sheet aluminium (Thinner the better) = Bunnings

L-Brackets (Shelf?) = Bunnings

Microswitches = Jaycar

Microswitch brackets = Scrap metal bent to a 'Z' shape

Contact cement = Bunnings
