How to make an Arcade Machine: Part 1 TheGeekPub 2015-07-26 | In part one of How to make an Arcade Machine, Mike from The Geek Pub walks through the process of building the arcade cabinet. Using this machine you will be able to play all of the old school retro arcade games including PacMan and Galaga! In part two of this video we will cover installing all of the electronics into the arcade cabinet, including the use of MAME (Mega Arcade Multi Emulator) and the Maximus Arcade front-end on a Windows 8 PC.This arcade machine cabinet is custom made from MDF. We drill all of the holes for the joystick and buttons, along with slots for the coin door! In part three of the series we will install the lighted marquee and graphics.Plans will be available shortly:http://www.thegeekpub.com/2505/how-to-make-an-arcade-machine-part-1Watch Part 2: youtube.com/watch?v=xIWwMtdzOH0Find us on Social Media:Facebook: facebook.com/TheGeekPubInstagram: instagram.com/TheGeekPub

Full Size R2-D2 Remote Control System (Raspberry Pi & Arduino) TheGeekPub 2019-05-11 | Support this Channel on Patreon:patreon.com/TheGeekPubI've had many of you ask me how I went about building the full size R2-D2 remote control system. I will walk you through what I have built so far and how I expect to expand on it in the future. Most of the R2-D2 remote control systems are based on model airplane controls and those are fine, but they're unintelligent systems. Meaning they just send a command to servo in analog format and nothing else.I wanted an intelligent system that I could interface with through many different methods. So I've based my control system on the Raspberry Pi and Arduino platforms using the I2C bus to control everything.Read more at my website:thegeekpub.com/236509/full-size-r2-d2-remote-controlParts list for building my R2-D2:thegeekpub.com/full-size-r2-d2-parts-listFind us on Social Media:http://facebook.com/TheGeekPubhttp://instagram.com/TheGeekPubhttp://twitter.com/TheGeekPub

The LattePanda Single Board Computer (Perfect for Windows Arcades) TheGeekPub 2017-07-15 | Whether you’re building an arcade or some other contraption the goto board for most of these projects has been the Raspberry Pi series of single board computers. Since the Raspberry Pi runs an ARM Cortex processor, you would normally run Raspbian - which is a Linux based operating system. If you want to run Windows, you're stuck with Windows 10 IoT or Internet of Things. This can be less than desirable because Windows 10 IoT will not run most desktop applications and can be very limited in functionality.Well now there’s a single board computer running an Intel Atom processor that comes pre-loaded with a full copy of Windows 10. It has x86 GPIO and even includes an integrated Arduino. Let me introduce you to the LattePanda!Now many of you over the years have asked me if there is a Windows based computer that you can use in my arcade projects and other projects. And the answer has been “Sure! Just go ahead and build any Windows based PC and put it into your arcade. Well unfortunately when building a bartop arcade or some of my smaller projects a full-size PC isn’t really optimal and may not even fit. Well the good news is they guys over at DFRobot have been listening to us and they have come up with this single board computer that is slightly larger than a Raspberry Pi and runs a full version of Windows 10. In fact it comes pre-loaded from the factory with Windows 10 and this is perfect for smaller projects like bartop arcade cabinets. So let’s take a look at it!Learn more and read my blog article here: thegeekpub.com/9311/the-lattepanda-s…d-computer-introGet the LattePanda here:LattePanda 2GB RAM/32GB HD: http://amzn.to/2vp3r7ALattePanda 4GB RAM/64GB HD: http://amzn.to/2um7m8gLattePanda Acrylic Case: http://amzn.to/2trUb0YLattePanda Plywood Case: http://amzn.to/2umFfFULattePanda Fan: http://amzn.to/2t2JiUaLattePanda Heatskinks: http://amzn.to/2tXm4jiLattePanda 7" IPS Display: http://amzn.to/2trMg3VLattePanda TouchScreen Overlay: http://amzn.to/2um3IuWLattePanda Gravity Sensor Kit: http://amzn.to/2uvvrd5Quadhands Helping Hands: http://amzn.to/2t2wixKFollow me on social media:Facebook: facebook.com/TheGeekPubInstagram: instagram.com/TheGeekPubSupport me on Patreon:Patreon.com/TheGeekPub
