byte sized engineering | How To Build A Bartop Arcade Machine With A Raspberry Pi @bytesizedengineering | Uploaded January 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 minute ago.
In this video I build a bartop arcade machine from a half sheet of MDF using a raspberry pi. This video is sponsored by JLCPCB. Get professional printed circuit boards for as low as $2 by visiting https://jlcpcb.com.
I have wanted to build an arcade machine for a long time. I’ve watched several makers in our community build their own, including Bob Clagget from I like to make stuff. With this inspiration I have decided to finally make this project a reality.
See the full build article on the byte sized website:

Plans to build your own: bytesizedengineering.com/store?category=Digital+Plans
If you're a maker and want to learn how to use Fusion 360 I would highly recommend checking out this online course made by Bob Clagett and the I Like To Make Stuff team.
