Made a little progress today on the controller deck :tup: just need to order 2 buttons that will be the "escape" and "pause" buttons. hence the empty holes. now that i have the controller deck built i can measure it to create a vinyl for it in photoshop

Last night I did most of the wiring for the buttons and LEDs. All the buttons and LEDs worked first try which was AWESOME, I hate troubleshooting......

The whole machine will eventually be wrapped in vinyl that I made in photoshop. I did not make the images themselves but I did scale/fade/adjust them to what I like. I will post the .jpeg's of the vinyls when I get a chance. They are already printed and chilling in my garage waiting for the rest of the machine to be finished before I apply them.

scratch the posting of the .jpeg's...they are like 30mb a piece because of the resolution and I don't have photoshop on my work pc to scale them down

Using Windows? Try the resize function in mspaint if it will open them.

ya, I am using windows but paint won't open them I am assuming due to the size of the files. The two sides are 11550x21900 pixels at 300 dpi with a file size of 31.7mb lol

Haha yeah... I wondered if that might be a problem. Sounds like you'll just have to use more sophisticated software.
