+grips03 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) I'm making an Atari 5200 digital arcade stick with keypad and rapid fire. Its based on the NeoGeoX controller with a different PCB, buttons, etc. It connects directly to 5200 using a deep socket db15 cable. It looks like the Intellvision and Colecovision controllers I make. Its powered directly from the 5200. I've tested pcb rev3 and it works well. Rev4 is like Rev3, but a little cleaner. Rev5 allows any normally open (microswitch) joystick to be used. More details after the holidays.

thegamezmaster Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Just hope it's affordable for people without deep pockets. But I do understand both sides of something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+grips03 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) I have a fuse for the two IC's - rapid fire (555 timer) and DG413 (allows 4 normally open) microswitches Edited December 27, 2013 by grips03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxpressed Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Just finished a game of Beamrider with mine! Top quality work from grips03, as always. Wait till you play Defender with this stick.

Lynxpro Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Let me know if more become available, please! Ditto. Would it help if we provided the SNK Controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ditto. Would it help if we provided the SNK Controller? yes, it would, as I have run out of NGX controllers. Either the NGX or original Neo Geo AES controller work. I'll have 3 more PCBs around Jan 25-26th. I can return the old guts of the controller to you if you go this route. Price would then be $110, not $160. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete's cart helps to adjust. bottom right side pads (from bottom working up) A = primary button = bottom side button B = secondary button = top side button GND = other side of A and B buttons C=primary button with rapid fire D = secondary button with rapid fire RA = other side of C and D buttons - RA is short for rapid NC = no connection middle right side pads (from bottom working up) U = UP = normally open D = Down = normally closed V = other side of Up and Down microswitches L = Left = normally open R = Right = normally closed H = other side of Left and Right microswitches NC = no connection top right side pads (from bottom working up) S = Start P = Pause R = Reset COM = other side of Start, Pause, Reset buttons NC = no connection top 15 pads connect to Atari 5200 (from left to right) 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, 4 to 4 etc. all the way to 15 I use YS-006 (search ebay) db15 deep socket cable, it's color code is below: pin 1 = brown pin 2 = red pin 3 = orange pin 4 = pink pin 5 = yellow pin 6 = green pin 7 = aqua pin 8 = blue pin 9 = purple pin 10 = gray pin 11 = white pin 12 = black pin 13 = brown / white pin 14 = red / white pin 15 = black / white bottom 7 pads - keypad (from left to right) Rev3 pcb = pin 2 7 3 8 1 5 6 Rev4 pcb and above = pin 6 5 1 8 3 7 2 the matrix keypad pin numbers at the bottom match the atari 5200 pin out for the keypad Sparkfun.com 3x4 matrix keypad = P/N COM-08653 from left to right if looking at the back of the keypad = 6 5 1 8 3 7 2 bottom and side pads are sized for JST-XH connectors here is a reference to wire them: http://web.archive.o...h/5200cont.html Edited January 19, 2014 by grips03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
