Overview
This project is about making a working, robust and "cheap" arcade stick. The stick is to be plugged in USB to a computer in order to play Mame arcade emulator or other games.
This project is made of 3 parts:
- Input multiplexing modules : making it possible for a simple arduino or Atmega chip to hold 30+ almost simultaneous inputs from players
- USB HID Module : The device will create 2 gamepad HID and a keyboard HID on host computer
- Stick body : mainly wood/metalworking in order to get a sturdy case (the arcade stick has to be strong and durable)
Input Multiplexing
Status : In Progress
The multiplexing part is designed to be modular. Each board is based on a 74hc165N PISO shift register. These chips can be daisy chained giving a good opportunity to think about scalability. A module handles 8 inputs and uses 4 wires of the arduino (+ power and ground).
