For those asking about cutting plexiglass, if you have access to a table saw it will work very well. Just use a blade with as many teeth as possible (or can afford, 60 is a good number). Then set th ...

Are the 8 wires inside an ethernet cable sheathed? That is, for the DDR Pad (ddrhomepad's design), would I be able to buy about 10 ft of Ethernet and essentially have 80 feet of cable to work with?
...

All buttons at this point. I took the top contact plates out from under the corner brackets, and laid them next to the bottom contacts such that both metal contacts were facing upward. I had the men ...

this may be a dumb question but wouldn't the controler act up anyway if it was the TV making it mess up, like before it was hooked up to the pad or anything, and would just changing controlers solve t ...

Well, I now know for sure it is the TV's fault. I turn the game on, get baseline readings of voltage/inductance/resistance by touching the multimeter probes to the actual soldered contacts on the con ...

Ok, maybe I was worried about the wrong thing (or just tired--it was late). I'm probably more worried about the increased potential difference. (Unrealistic example: Potential difference between th ...

First, how often do the wires come loose on the pads which you have built, and is there any way to limit the number of times this occurs? Finally, what is the average length of the soldered wires on ...

Hey I'm starting my own pad and I was wondering about the metal squares. The way DDRhomepad describes making the 5 metal squares doesn't sound so great. I mean, the edges will be jagged and ugly where ...

ignore me

could you take apart a wireless controller and mount the transmitter from the controller on the front of the pad and hten just have the reciever in the xbox and it would work instead of having the cab ...

has anyone tried to make one of these using a wireless controller? i am planning on building one of these for xbox when i can scrape together the extra money, but i was wondering, could you take apar ...

ok.thx. and how did u make it three steps at once?

and i wanna use LED lights to light up my pad.

I wouldn't order led's from radio shack. Look on a place like digikey.com to buy leds.

thanks for information on lights. The pros and cons are useful (i didnt think of some of the cons.) I'm to the point where i can set up just about any of those lighting sets, i have a transformer to ...

alright, im getting down to the nitty gritty details of setting up lighting for my pad (well, its not a pad right now, its a circuit board, a transformer, some wires and a playstation controller...) a ...

You'd have use LED lights or lights of the about same size, since there isn't that much room underneath the each arrow panel. Also, I think you'd need transistors to get the right current to each LED ...

are you sure there? usually a pushbutton that is black means its a normally closed not a normally open. so yes there would be a difference. you would want the normally open not the normally closed.
...

I have a question, for my custom built ddrhomepad design, i used a cat5 cable, is it possible to disconnect my controller from the pad when moving?
U know, like how a ethernet cable plugs into a rout ...

I am using the circut board and plastic box from my soft pad, but I need to buy pushbuttons (preferably as small as possible). There are a bunch of different kinds, and I was wondering which ones I ...

WTF!!!!!I was playing earilier on my Riptide design and then everything just stopped working. What happened? Even the X,O,and triangle on the controllr don't work. Is there anyway I could fix this?
...

i wasn't sure where this question would go but would it be possible to rewire one of those solo pads they sell at channelbeat.com in the spare parts section so that you can use it as a PS2 dance pad? ...
