hi, i'm new here so be gentle. i've read through this entire post and i can't hope to remember everything. here is my thought. i'm planning on doing the ddrhomepad style, but it seems to me the switch ...

I'm using one that I built based on DDRHomepad's design. I plan to tear it apart and re-use some of the materials for a Riptide design pad.

ok, each mending bracket has two ends supported by washers. What I did was cut the wire to the length that it will reach over the closest set of washers, and I would have leftover wire. Then I'd p ...

Alright, lemme see if I can word my question better

From my understanding, you strip the length of wire at regular intervals, then put the stripped part under the mending bracket, then scre ...

Can someone explain to me how the new riptide designed contacts are suppose to work?

And also, is the wiring that weaves around each washer suppose to come directly from the controller? I soldered ...

Hey riptide are you gonna ever update your videos to go with your new contact design, assuming there is one? It's been over half a year since you promised to update them within "a month hopefully."

This is my very first post in this thread, and I have a question...
I was planning on buying a Cobalt Flux Pad but I don't have near as much money needed to buy it and was wondering...is making your ...

LMAO flower power.

Sorry couldn't resist.

I read about a screw/solder mod for DDRhomepad's design in Shadow_dragon's FAQ, in which you either hammer a screw through the bottom of the metal or drip some solder between the two contacts.

i want to be able to detatch my controller from my pad for carrying purposes. what exactly will i need and where can i pick them up?

Or you can just get a phone jack and wire it to your pad, and wi ...

Does the beefman have any instructions up for his arrow contact design?

Sorry, I've been away for a looong time, so I haven't read the other threads. I am still wondering if anyone has figured out why the DDR hompad sometimes shorts out? My pad would always short out the ...
