2x8 supports10 viewsWe put 2 2x8s in the floor. It makes it very sturdy, but it also adds considerable weight.

Piano hinge22 viewsHere you can see the IPAC, the Druin rotary board, my torx wrench, and the piano hinge on the top of the panel. I highly recommend doing that. You can also see two holes in the back of the panel to run keyboard cables, etc.

Routing the control panel edges14 viewsA router takes care of trimming up the edge of the lexan to the control panel MDF very easily. I recommend wearing long sleeves, since little bits of plastic will pelt you. It feels like bugs hitting you on a motorcycle.

Rigging power to the Druin board36 viewsGetting power to the rotary interface board was a pain. We ended up taking a butt joint from Radio Shack and connecting one end to the ground wire, and the other to the second power connection on the I-PAC. The first power didn't work.Jun 03, 2006

Butt connectors27 viewsThis is the package of butt connectors that I purchased in order to get power to the rotary interface. We only ended up needing two of these I think. If you can avoid buying at Radio Shack, do it, since they are so over-priced.Jun 03, 2006

Butchering a CD audio cable25 viewsI tried to use the end of a cd audio cable to provide a jumper for my Druin rotary interface, but it didn't work. At that point I went to Radio Shack.Jun 03, 2006

Control panel 1st test65 viewsI hooked the panel up to my computer once it was all wired, and fired up The Legend of Kage. It played great, although playing on the floor wasn't the most comfortable situation.Jun 03, 2006
