flippertje Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Yesterday I made a test cabinet and put the screen in it today. When I have received the buttons I will continue. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Hog Mad Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Wow, what size screen is that? Bet Roller Coaster looks good on that! Looks like it's on top of some IKEA drawers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippertje Posted February 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 21 inch. I made the cupboard with the drawers myself, you never have enough storage space 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippertje Posted February 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Yesterday a few of the ordered buttons arrived. So far only the white ones. So I was right off this afternoon but connected a bit. Now try to make some stickers for the buttons with a hobby laser machine. That is not quite easy. Especially because the buttons are upright and therefore less space for the letters. Hope the colored buttons arrive soon, because I don't have enough buttons yet. I also ordered an LED controller, because it would be nice if the lights were on at the right time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timpharrison Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 @flippertje - this looks fantastic, pretty much exactly what I'm going to try to achieve on my build. Did you think about using a touch screen instead of a monitor? Adds about £100 to the build cost, so I'm undecided whether its worthwhile. I will definitely add physical buttons for cancel/hold/feature/start but would be nice to use touchscreen for any extra buttons in the layouts.

flippertje Posted April 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 When I started this project I hadn't thought about a touchscreen yet. Actually, this was also a trial and I had the monitor left. I have now discovered that I miss a few buttons with some layouts, or that the description of the buttons is not quite correct. So if I'm going to make a version 2.0 again, I will definitely consider a touchscreen. But I think real buttons are part of it. I also found out that I may have made the case a bit too small, as I now have little room for a hopper. But I'm just going to try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only got 9 actual buttons, two of those won't really be machine buttons. 2 https://www.facebook.com/groups/264122764904452/?epa=SEARCH_BOX Fruit Machine Discussion - Facebook Group.

Timpharrison Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) I'm going to base my cabinet on this MDF shell from eBay. I will request no button holes in the control panel and will drill these myself. I'm planning to go for 8 buttons which should be fine considering I will have a touchscreen. Will also add buttons elsewhere on the cab for coin in and service buttons. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-PLAYER-RETRO-VERTICAL-ARCADE-MACHINE-DIY-FLAT-PACK-KIT-18mm-MDF/143769437426?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Edited April 7, 2021 by Timpharrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spa Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 But the screen may even change again as one of my other digis has stopped working, and the touch screen is a bit bigger. So if that can't be sorted, that will go in. https://www.facebook.com/groups/264122764904452/?epa=SEARCH_BOX Fruit Machine Discussion - Facebook Group.

It was actually the thing that got me into the emu scene, as I wanted to play it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
