Wiring the Druin rotary interface31 viewsHere you can see a close-up of the Druin board.Jun 03, 2006

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

The failed experiment33 viewsHere's the cd audio cable installed.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

Creating the ground loop26 viewsAll controls need a common ground wire that runs through them.Jun 03, 2006

Be careful with control prongs20 viewsHere's the result of tightening one button, and turning my knuckle into the button next to it. The metal parts on the underside of the panel are sharp.Jun 03, 2006

Piano hinge23 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.Jun 03, 2006

Coin buttons31 viewsThis is a shot of all 4 coin buttons. The flash destroys the colors, but you can see all four coin graphics from Gauntlet. Since I wanted to re-create this feature from Gauntlet, I chose to keep all coin buttons together rather than putting a coin button near each player.Jun 03, 2006
