Raspberry Pi 2 Slim Arcade cabinet

[mistrk]

I had the opportunity to work with a cutter during training for my job, so I decided to begin work on a project I’d been dreaming up for a few months now.

It’s got a Raspberry Pi 2 powering it, and I’m using an X-Arcade joystick box for the controller.

You can view the gallery of progress shots at this link.

Thats Awesome!

Is it just a HDTV mount on the back? So you could up the tv if you wanted?

[mistrk]

Yep! It pulls out from the back about 8″ too. Unfortunately it doesn’t turn 90 degrees, but I could replace the mount as well as the TV if I wanted.

That would be sweet *Swivel* time for shmups!

I like your setup there. Is the coin door functional? If so how did you connect that to the raspberry? thanks

[mistrk]

Completely functional. I bought it from X-Arcade, and it connects through the joystick box which connects to the Pi, seeing the buttons/sticks/coin door as keyboard button presses.
