Thanks for checking about the arcade controller. Anyone can feel free to use it or take the parts from it. Of course the buttons can be reused, but there was also an Arduino Nano with a screw terminal breakout, and an RS232 board, or which a similar one might still be next to the Teensy on the LED wall. The two RS232 boards are to provide a serial connection and 5V power over a long ethernet cable, so they should be kept together in order to be useful. More info here.
imo keeping that on the board is a good idea as it is less likely to get lost/junked/wander. What do people think of hanging it on a hook in the electronics area or putting it in the box with the multimeters?
I’d like to keep Shane’s controller setup together for VHS rather than it being taken apart. Shane used that with a video game that was played on the LED wall and it was a great way to engage people with that setup. Just the sort of thing we need for world create day, SHHH, and other events.
@Janet - agreed. Shane made if for VMMF to use with the LED wall. It was a good social experiment as there were no instructions. Kids figured it out quickly, adults, no so much
A long time ago (near when the laser was first set up) I crafted a 4-player controller. While I don’t think the whole layout would be useful, the individual sections might be useful to use.
