Reply to midi fighter clone build log!

so heres my progress on my first ever build midi controller based on a pc game pad. altought its my first midi controller project, it is not my first electronic project.

the buttons i bought on dealextreme, cheaper in any way (price and quality -____- )


drawing the buttons location was harder then i thought, took me 4 tries untill they were alligned perfectly (or almost)


heres the first prototype i made (to figure out how i wanted it)


then i figured i didnt want to buy a plexi glass, and found a transparent plastic that would be perfect for the project (i would use the black foam core+ the transparent plastic)

here you see the plastic glass and were to drill


then i assembled the faceplate and its final look (face plate, still missing the case)


now all thats left to do is the brains (solder the arcade switches on the game pad) and the botton box

more to come soon
