Mini Controller for Cue Points - 10$

Mini Controller for Cue Points - 10$

Hi,

here is a small Controller build. :slight_smile:

Parts:
6 Arcade Buttons
1 Button (for Numpad activation)
1 Tupperware Box
1 Numpad

Wired for Numbers 1 till 6. Works Great for Playing Cup´s.

tupperware looks like a sick idea for a make-shift case. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, thanks for sharing man, I’m going to build this one!
I didn’t know you can also use a numpad for this!

This Controller is only for testing. I´ll try to build up a bigger one
Like this one. Then with a better case.

What about one longish one along the bottom of the vestax

Nice one - I hope you left enough space to carry a couple of sandwiches? :slight_smile:

a long strip of buttons under the vestax rather than on the sides would make more sense from an ergonomic stand point… unless you don’t do/wont be doing cue point juggling.

that looks sick! how easy was it to build?

Can you do a build tutorial :slight_smile:

yes!!

cheap an clean as hell

Excellent. Yes please do a tutorial if you can, your project seems ‘simple’ enough for people like myself who don’t have a clue about this kind of electronic magic. If you cant’, too bad, but thanks anyway for the thread.

nice you could hook more buttons up, right ?

bump for tutorial

Ok i wrote a small tutorial in the next days.

greetings

you magnificent bastard! I eagerly await it. thank you!

Here is the Tutorial:

First take a cheap Numpad.
I tooked this one from Slimlink.

Numpads has really small Controlboards.

First you had to find out which Button is soldered to which pin. I wrote the numbers to the foil.

My controller has the soldering for the Buttons (Numbers):

Number 1: C11 R2
Number 2: C12 R2
Number 3: C13 R2
Number 4: C11 R1
Number 5: C12 R1
Number 6: C13 R1

After soldering with a soldering bolt it looks like this:

Some Notebooks need the Num Lock Button to activate the Numpad. So just put an extra button to the controller.
Button Num Lock: C11 R4

Put this all in a case and it will be ready.

greetings

nice one - really simple :slight_smile:

The lunchbox of champions!
