How To Make A Future Tone Arcade Controller

Page ane of 24

I prefer to post hither all the homemade controllers I institute when I was thinking about doing mine.
I've been working on a piffling (30x40cm) Future Tone controller since I really don't like the hori little one.
I nearly forgot that I had to employ all L1/L2 & R1/R2 for the twin slide (>> & <<).

Take care with the drilling point, a sanwa thirty/24/40mm is like shooting fish in a barrel simply big 100mm depends on their origin (original Sanwa or People's republic of china cheap model).

You tin can build a controller using a pcb of an former pad, I did mine on a Fighting commander iv hori i.

I volition add pictures after (mine likewise).

All that pics can help you to build your own PjD controller.

does anyone know what spring the actual arcade cabinet uses for their 100mm buttons?
100g, 200g, 400g.. etc?
Yes, merely 200g.
The 100g are too soft and the 400g are used for UFO catcher (too stiff).

Hey, I'm famous. I also have an instructable on my projection here for anyone looking for how to build a controller.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Project-Diva-FTCT-Arcade-Controller/

As for the springs, I take been playing with 200g. I have played the 400 with PoPn at an arcade but I feel they may be too potent with such a spread out layout. I do have some 400 on the mode though for whenever akishop gets my other triangles sent out though, RIP order.
Glad to see you hither.
I follow many controller project before and after doing mine and I decided to share all the projects I met to help or inspire homemade FT controllers.
I was wondering, didn't you forget the 2 slides on your controller (>> and <<). I had this impression when I first check your drawings.

I well-nigh did this fault and drew a new plan.

That's fun to come across my friends one on the first mail, I gived him my arcade layout graphics for him, so let's share mine :iii
He's pretty old now (2013-2014) and jsut had been updated for PS4 with new motherbord (Hori Mini Fighting Stick)
Now I'm seriously looking to constitute what springs and microswitches are the all-time to find over again the arcade feeling :iii

Speaking of springs, does anyone know where to get softer springs for the 100mm and 60mm dome buttons? I purchased my buttons from Adafruit. The sanwa ones were waaaaay too much and then I got these instead merely they seem difficult to press (not sure what weight they are as well)
