I just wanted to let everyone know that my ddr pad instructions have moved off of digitaltorque.com. They are now located (at the same path) on wubros.com (wu brothers -- my last name).

The domain ...

Well, I guess I've been got, but thanks for sharing that knowledge, I'd figured that it was true on the basis that it was such a common belief. Is it a good conductor when ionised?

I doubt it woul ...

slvrshdw, will you send me those graphics? I'm trying to collect stuff to put together into a doc on the FAQ section here on DDRFreak. I'll also host them on my site so they'll have multiple homes.

Water is also a good conductor. If you have an effective way to use it, do so.
I'm trying to design a wet switch, where the connection is made when water is flowing between the two wires, but the ha ...

Yes, I have not done it myself, but I hear that people have done what pinkdeath suggested with good results. I believe you should have some extra sheet metal left.

Wow, some of the images posted here kill my remote desktop from work to my home system where I can safely slack off without being logged (the rd goes over an SSH tunnel -- adds encryption and makes it ...

It's funny how the circle that the combined arrow graphics create doesn't look quite perfect because there is a square within it and it's surrounded by squares as well... One of the reasons I chose no ...

Also, beding metal to cover the solid panels is a royal pain, any suggesions on making it easier, and how to secure it to the plywood/2x4's?

You're talking about creating those L brackets, right? ...

Impressive -- have you poked at the sensors yet to see how they work? If it were me, I'd probably order an extra one just to cut open

Incandescents usually last about 1000 hrs (constant on time -- flashing decreases it I think).

Cold cathodes generally last about 10,000 iirc. They also consume much less energy, but for such a te ...

cold cathodes are unbreakable in what sense? In that they don't really burn out for a long time or that they can't be physically broken?

They definately can be physically broken... they're only ab ...

And I'm trying to establish whether or not to use LEDs or if bulbs would be the good choice. Because bulbs have a lot shorter lifespan. But I'm not sure if LEDs will be able to light up the entire 11" ...

It's kind of one of the things I was thinking of... I just don't want too much flex to occur... because then it would feel less like the arcade pads

I think that due to the number of people wanting to talk about switch design, we should move the discussion elsewhere so that people wanting to get help with pad building can have this space. I have ...

Hmm, actually that's a great idea. Something I didn't think of is to use the mounting tape between the layers. That would give a little extra room. I also don't want too much play in the actual swi ...

That sounds like a good design. I would like to see pictures. I would only worry that the metal might loose its springy property for its malleability and form around whatever you are using to separa ...

I just thought I would provide an update on the switch design I've been working on... it's a membrane switch basically... it uses the semi-rigid,semi-flexible properties of layers of plastic to create ...

Well, you'll first need to remove the rust. A polisher/buffer will probably work (or something that does the same thing).

From there, try wiping WD-40 on it. It contains rust preventative chemica ...

What part of the plexi are you ironing to get what to stick together? The two plexi pieces or the plexi and the velcro?

What are the T brackets for you mention?

Sorry, it's early in the morning ...

So, I have decided that I am going to compile Home made DDR Pad information to send in to a DDR Freak contributor so we can have a lot of this info posted under the FAQ section here at DDR Freak.

I ...
