Jdwyder, email your code change and I will post it.

1742

Thanks guys I got the inputs correctly changed. I didnā€™t know how to edit the current code so I just used a different code and changed the inputs. Also the big kahuna pads do work better on KNs, only slightly though canā€™t really tell the difference.

1743

@ZonbiPanda great diagram, you should post to the wiki

@Yellowcan glad you like them, I posted a tutorial about loading new coad on the board and can publish the code for less buttons in the drop box

@jwyder looking forward to what you come up with

@LLeg3nd GREAT that you like them, we were very impressed with Moonchildeā€™s creativity

I have two of them and I did just what you are talking about. I purchase everything from Armi great prices and fast shipping. The only thing I did not purchase from him was the PS360+,and neutrik connector, I got that from focus attack. Here are some pics of my sticks. The one with the original art is concave and the other is convex. IMO, if you plan on playing for hours go with the convex. Eventhough I love the old school feel, it will take a toll on your fingers (Im in my 40ā€™s so it may not be the same for you, my ass is old LOL)

this is a pic of the cable that came with the nubytech and I just use a multimeter to split them up. that way I can still use the cable for games on the PS1,2 and xbox. @Darksakul taught me that. All I do is connect it to the neutrik connector that connects to my PS360+ and Im good to go.

1745

@wigsplitter thanks for the purchase, we did run out of 360s butā€¦ We do have neutrik connectors now and will have a dual mod option soonā€¦

1746

I wish the PS360+ wasnā€™t so bigā€¦

1747

Wouldnt it be cool if it was the exact same size as the Kaimana?
I did ask them if they wanted to team up on a board but they declined, however we may have a surprise from someone else soonā€¦

1748

I donā€™t really see why it couldnā€™t be the same size as the Kaimana but Iā€™m no electrical engineer. I have a couple of smaller cases that I want to build but I donā€™t want to jam a PS360 in them. Paewang would probably fit. Hacked pad would fit. It just seems like there is a hole in the market where a compact standalone multi-console PCB should be. Screw terminal option, etc.

1749

Yeah I know you have everything in stock now LOL. You are one of a few guys that have IL/Happs man. Its not as popular (due to the size of the barrels I guess) as the other buttons. I love them because thats what I grew up using. @Boom I hope my pics help you out man.

So is this how you have yours setup @jwyder?

1751

@wigsplitter for some reason the pictures werenā€™t coming up on my phoneā€¦ nice sticks!

I think we are the last retailer with IL in the US.

So what do people think of this

1752

I think itā€™s really cool, looks like it will make drop in replacements easier if you plan on cannibalizing a modern board from another stick. On the other hand, how many cases have clearance for the stick?

1753

I am not sure about jwyder but thatā€™s how I set mine up but I added select/back and start at the end. Unfortunately there a wodden support for the top panel blocking the way to the home button so the Kaimana J canā€™t fit. A Pele should fit in there but Iā€™ll have to check later.
I switched to the Ryu code and I love the animations.

1754

@YellowCan movie or it didnā€™t happen :slight_smile: What do you have for your home button?

1755

All three of my 24mm are ps-14 dnk.
I can say it was really fun wiring up my first LEDs. The only problem I ran into was I had to cut into my top panel to make room for three of the peles.

1756

Looks pretty low-profile. Is this the shallow stick?

1757

@ZonbiPanda YES!!! That is exactly how I have my Kaimana and LEDā€™s hooked up

Here are some picā€™s of my almost finished stick

The Kaimana is installed under the PS360+

Here is the Kaimana working:

1758

hey pmā€™ed you about a order i made on oct 19.

1759

Stezo, call Susan 6513323665, I forwarded the pm but that is the fastest way to connect.

Jdwyer nice case!

Th base code I am editing is the **ParadiseArcadeShop_Kaimana_Random_colr **code. When you chgange the indexes for the LEDā€™s (#define LED_P1 4, #define LED_P2 5ā€¦) you also have to change where the indexes are being used. I found the indexes being used in int pollSiwtches(void) which cycles through each Button tof find if it was pushed or not, if it was then choose a random color, if false move to next button. The yellow lines on the left signify the linnes I changed

So the lines

{iLED[LED_K1] = false;}
if( !digitalRead(PIN_K2) )
if(iLED[LED_K2] == true)
{iLED[LED_K2] = true;}
else
{LEDCOLOR[0][2]=random(255);
LEDCOLOR[1][2]=random(255);
LEDCOLOR[2][2]=random(255);
iLED[LED_K2] = true;}
else
{iLED[LED_K2] = false;}

meaning you change the second number in the [] to the index of the LED
So my K1 button has LED 2 on it so the LED index is 2 so we switch it in the code

See the original vs changed code

I will see if I can find where the other indexes are being used and I can post them
