But I am a babe in the woods with this stuff and I have not been able to find a good solution in my research. I assume the problem of holding a rotating joint in place is one that has been readily solved by robotics. One component could be responsible from preventing the control panel from turning freely under large forces (like leaning/pounding) and another component could be used to prevent the control panel from rocking due to the smaller forces (like pushing on the joystick).
I also figured solutions could be combined. I thought about an electromagnetic brake, but I think one that would provide enough force would be way too big (and could interfere with the CRT). Once the control panel is activated, one of three things will happen: If one has chosen to activate the ARCHIMEDES defense system and has chosen option 5 (. However, I am not sure how much holding strength and how much play will be present. I don't have the tools to machine anything.Īnother was to use a worm screw to drive the rotation of the control panel as I have read they are supposed to provide holding strength. The rod that locks it in place could be automated via an actuator or something. One idea was to use an indexing/dividing head like the one in my lathe.
Arcade control panel how to#
I have had a couple ideas but I am not sure how feasible they are or exactly how to implement them. That worked well, but I would like the whole thing to be automated. I created a test setup for my original idea that used a tension latch to secure the control panel to the front. Note that this will be made from wood in my shop, so exact tolerances can not be expected (may be off by up to 1/8"-1/4"). The front panel prevents it from rotating forward, but there is nothing preventing it from rotating backwards. It can't be rocking while players are pushing the joystick up and down (some people push somewhat hard). It also needs to have no play and feel very solid. It needs to be able to hold in place against the force of players leaning on the control panel (and angry players pounding on it). However, I have a problem: locking the control panel in place. I want the rotation of the control panel will be automated. I guess I could always use steel/wood cross struts on that panel if neccessary.
