36" or so, was at the arcade and measured it the other day.

Anybody know how conductive dibond is? Stuff's damn sweet, specially the brushed aluminum. Figured it wouldn't be bad for a design similar to Devout's, but I have some different theories on the way th ...

as for kalek:
what the ^%&* only 3 screws for the BAR...what were you thinking!?
hahaha, just kidding around, but 3 is like..just wow. it would have to be wobbly like that

with the se ...

Only use 1 layer, 2 would make it very unsensitive.
Thanks, I've got to get to work on this thing O:

Yes, a dense mouse pad will definitely do the trick. And if you get the right brackets, the chances of denting on them is VERY low since they will be forged steel.

Hmm.... So do you think that I sh ...

I'd suggest 1/2" Fir Plywood. A 35"x35" base would weigh about 10lbs, and it's quite a bit stronger and cheaper than other plywoods. You may find, however, that it's not perfectly flat, which can be ...

But Soymilk, you have to buy the Brackets and mounting rubber-housings as well. At that rate you almost have to buy the $200 package. I'm looking for something a little cheaper. I might just have to b ...

SoymilkCharlie, I have to thank you for your wonderful suggestion. Now my only predicament is finding what material should be used for the base, I'm looking for something lightweight, as it would need ...

Tenchi50, are those sensors you mentioned relatively sensitive and long lasting? I'll probably be playing for 45+ minutes a day on 8+ footers, if that information helps. I need something that won't di ...

Building a new pad, plan on having the top part of the frame routed. Only problem is that I'd like to put some sort of edge on the arrows so they aren't so open on the sides. Y'know, so the innards o ...

I guess I've lost what the topic was about anyways...

Semi-off topic question, what is the most reasonably priced, long lasting, and sensitive switch/sensor system?

All you guys have got me thinking, and perhaps I should design a pad that would break into a cube of sorts...

Already have how the wiring would work, but I'd have to work on some other components. ...

The concept of a foldable metal pad is interesting, but I don't think that would be the way to go, especially because of the hinges. That'd cut off a decent portion, making a pretty big dead spot in t ...

I prefer the arcade sensors over my sheet metal and weatherstripping senors. Mine stick a bunch, and I just repleaced the weatherstripping the other day. So, my plans were to get something that won't ...

I never knew there were already instructions for 'em out there.

I just figured pvc was light enough, and my goal was to keep stuff cheap.

I've actually turned to another plastic-like material, i ...

Okay, I'm new to this site, but I've built my own pad using the "ddrhomepad" design as a base.

Now that I've got nothing to do with my summer, I've decided to build a pvc pad, and I was wondering ...
