Yea
Yea I’m just gonna light up the joystick and my 6 primary buttons, so I won’t light up home, start, or select.
So, if I’m correct, it should be Kaimana->Adapter for joystick ball top->K1->K2->K3->P1->P2->P3
Then I’d need:
2x 12" cable
5x 3" cable
Is that right?
@sasquach
Yup, you need 7 cables total for the connections you mapped out and your choice of cables will do the job.
@xBxOxCxADONIS - The LVT3 is a different beast and effectively a Kaimana on steroids!
Hey Zonbi - I was curious if you ever worked on any more animations. I remember you mentioning that you were going to start a project to compile a lot of them. I need to spend some time and sit down to learn aurdino, but if you’ve already compiled a bunch of stuff it would defiantly make things a little easier for me.
So true but i like it. I have the correct sketch now… Having too much fun coding this board. Lvt3 definitely worth it
@Cagan
Ended up writing a full animation engine rather than crafting my own animations. Way more work but much more rewarding in the end. PAS was doing private demos with some of my code last month at TGS.

Holy crap! Is that ready for use? How can I get my hands on the software?
Also, besides the side lighting and the onboard can the LVT3 do anything the kaimana can’t?
I’m still waiting -sad panda-
@ZonbiPanda: will the tool you’re designing work with the Kaimana as well?
@KnyghtFall @Cagan
The code I provided for the Tokyo Game Show was specifically for the LVT3. I have not discussed porting this to the Kaimana with Bryan at PAS but I think a stripped down version would be possible. However, it’s not currently on my radar and I have a bunch of other projects I am working on right now.
Ok. I’ve got ideas galore, and I don’t know where to start. Rather than hold my breathe for something that may never happen, I will learn how to program for kaimana myself.
Zonbipanda, will you point me in the right direction?
The kaimana is capable of all the same led tricks correct?
Had I known the kaimana was pretty much: (look what this thing is capable of! Welp, now you’re on your own!) I would have gone with something more noob friendly.
This product is outstanding, but if you don’t know how to use Arduino, you’re screwed.
@KnyghtFall - If you need hep getting started programming, send me a PM and I’ll see what I can do. My time is rather limited right now so I will not be doing your coding for you but will certainly do my best to get you started.
There were only a handful of coders that really took to programming the Kaimana and I only know of two that have not finished their customizations and moved on to the next project. For the most part, the code that ships on the Kaimana will get you up and running with LED buttons. Beyond that, there really are not that many players oozing creativity and capable of building their own custom fight sticks like @b15sdm.
Ok. Thank you. I just want a shove in the right direction, not someone to do it all for me.
I appreciate it.
Sorry for the really noob question - I’m getting the kaimana board with screw terminals and I’m not sure how to connect these 2 points in a solder-less manner:

Can anyone point me to a product page that sells some kind of wiring solution that lets me connect a wire from the screw terminal, to the VDC point in the white connector part at the bottom of the board?
Buy an extra 6 or 8 inch harness. Cut it in half. Pull out one of the wires from the plastic end with the terminal pin connector. Strip the end of the cut wire. Screw in the the stripped end, and connect the terminal pin connector to the right pin on the board.
I will upload a photo for you later showing what I mean.
@etownnipples I think that the Kaimana ships with white plug and short cable to connect to VCC. It would be worth checking with PAS first but you can always order an extra cable as @Moonchilde suggested for added flexibility.
I see a 6" Cable at PAS for $0.55 and a 24" cable for only $0.70 so they are really inexpensive.
Here we go. Can see what I did. Super easy with an extra Kaimana J harness.
