Getting some research completed on USB Arcade controllers for an up coming project for Red Bull. The simple prototype below is using an off the shelf USB joystick interface to connect some simple arcade style buttons to the PC. The USB controller simply acts like a joystick interface so very simple plug an play. For the final project though we will be building a complete arcade machine, so I wanted to experiment with lighting around the buttons.
The ring light above the first button was a quick test to see what type of effects could be achieved using an Art Net interface. These tests can then be fed back to the designers before going into full scale production.
