Things we design and share with the community plus community-contributed designs.

Push Button

The “Classic” control included in our Kit, designed to host a 30 mm  Arcade Push Button.

Based on the original design by Mario Rosas

Push Button

The “Table Top” Control included in our Kit, designed to host a 30 mm  Arcade Push Button.

Case

The Case specifically designed for our PCB.

You will find 4 STL files:

  • Low pofile case (the Case on top in the picture) – Arduino Soldered on the PCB.
  • High profile case v1
  • High Profile case v2 (in the picture) – Socket-mounted Arduino
  • Case top (lid)

Schematics

Schematics and PCB Layout.

This is the design of our Kit (Maker Faire Roma Edition)

Push Buttons wiring

Controls – Push-Button wiring

Our current Schematics (and PCB) uses Pins A0, A1, A2, A3 as input for the push buttons.

In the “2 player mode” the Arduino software uses A0 (Car 1) and A2 (Car 2).

In the “4 Players Mode” A1 is used for Car 3 and A3 for Car 4.

4 Players Mode

4 Players adapter cable

To play with four cars (colors), you need

  • 2 x Type 1 buttons (see above)
  • 2 x Type 2 Buttons (see above)
  • 2 x Dual Headphone Jack Splitter Stereo 3.5mm (see picture)

Insert the Splitters in the two Jack of the PCB (where you usually insert the two type 1 buttons)

On each Splitter insert one Type 1 Button and one Type 2 button.

So…you Download, Solder, Print, Compile, Upload and all of that…

This is how you put everything together and start to PLAY!
