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
angusgr — Fri, 11/06/2010 - 10:07amNice one! What are the switch contacts on the pads made out of? Any problems with durability?
The contacts are just micro
Combust — Tue, 15/06/2010 - 10:16amThe 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
Plans/Parts
pd12 — Tue, 22/06/2010 - 7:45pmWill you be posting the plans/parts that you used?
I think ill be able to do
Combust — Wed, 23/06/2010 - 10:43amI 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...
Combust — Tue, 21/09/2010 - 10:24amFew 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
Thank you!
pd12 — Fri, 24/09/2010 - 1:27amCool, thanks!
I'll put this into my list of projects to do =)
