When I built mine a year or so ago, the raw materials ran about $100 or so, most of which went towards the set of nine pushbuttons.

It's a pretty easy project. You need some general carpentry skill ...

Yeah, I know how to do it, but the fact of the matter is that the gun doesn't get hot enough to melt the solder, period. Does anyone know of a soldering iron or gun I can get with a way to manually s ...

I'm building a dance pad to be used with Dance Dance Revolution Universe. Where can I get good graphics for the "A", "B", "X", and "Y" buttons?
There are some decent X and O pad images in the very f ...

I'm not too concerned about the metal getting worn. 1/8" deflection over a couple of inches of length should be fine. I think the real trick is going to be how to keep the sensors in place and the two ...

Has anyone had any success with a buckling sensor design, such as http://inventgeek.com/Projects/dancepad2/page11.aspx? High density PTFE isn't too easy to come by, and seems a little expensive online ...

It says it's 10ga.
It's kind of tough to cut too, so I'm thinking it's possible. I got some of the same stuff at Home Depot, and I couldn't find the gauge, so I figured it was 26ga. or something. I ...

Okay, soldering question, because there is no way I'm actually going to sell pads held together by electrical tape:
Are you serious?! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder

Thank you, Eradicator. I'll look over the dimensions again, because it looks like I may have written something wrong.

EDIT: After checking dimensions, an 18" stem would make the support reach way b ...

What am I missing with the circuit diagram in the original message? It looks like you're using twice as many diodes as necessary - I can't figure out what you're trying to do with the two diodes betwe ...

quick question.. what should i solder the wires to on the circuit board? would the bottom (black lines) work?
Yes, use the black fingers along the bottom. You'll probably need to remove the black gun ...

Finished and uploaded the guide! I would appreciate it if you guys could look through and give feedback. I didn't proof read all of it, so there might be error. Let me know if you see anything confusi ...

Most of the top quality media cables use gold contacts, and the slightly cheaper ones use copper contacts. I'm not sure what the cheap ones use, but on patch cords, you can hear the difference betwee ...

I don't think so. The two diodes on the positive side of the switch are the ones that are important - you don't want the higher voltage of the lighting power source to flow into the controller.

Can you share with the rest of us? I still don't see how to activate the automatic BPM calculator.

SvenC, disregard my first post. The BMP counter is accurate and I figured out how to control the gap using the up and down buttons.

Some things to be aware of when installing the slim PSTwo flip top:

Be very careful after undoing the 6 screws and separating the two halves of the case. Start with the left side (left rear corner, ...

I'm starting to piece together my plan for a metal platform based on RipTide's design, and have a couple of questions on materials selection and construction.

The materials list calls for 0.22" thi ...

The game is currently hard-coded to be no harder than "Fail End of Song" for Light mode. If your "Default Fail Type" is at a harder setting (30 misses, immediate, etc.), you'll get kicked back to "End ...

Figured out the issue - there's a hard-coded rule in the game to drop the difficulty down to FailEndOfSong for Beginner and Easy modes.
