  1. This weekend #parenting meant building a mini arcade stick for my daughter so she'd stop reaching for mine while i struggle with #KingOfFighters combos

    It's cute and Fisher-Price colored, which her mom and I agreed on. I designed and 3D printed the top cover out of "clear" PETG, which took 5 revisions to fit everything in
    The metal shell is no lie pulled from spare parts for a discontinued medical device from a job I worked a decade ago.
    the buttons and stick and USB-C passthrough on the back came from arcadeshock.com/ whose warehouse is close enough for me to buy in person instead of shipping.
    I threw some cheap rainbow RGB in there to glow beneath the translucent faceplate
    I 3D printed the adapter forthe USB port on the back as well

    The bottom right text says "Starfist" (inside joke with my wife) but it isn't super legible. Hoping a future 3D print will come out a little clearer

    The last picture is of my fightstick, so you can see what she was reaching for. We are an American household and by God I, my wife, and my daughter all prefer bat top levers instead of the common ball top ones.

  2. Hab heute morgen endlich mal wieder den #Fightstick ausgepackt und ein bisschen #GuiltyGearSTRIVE gespielt. Der Style, den dieses Spiel ausstrahlt, ist einfach fantastisch. Mit dem neuen 2.0 Update und einem neuen Charakter macht es weiterhin richtig Spaß. Ich liebe es, mit Elphelt online richtig auf die Fresse zu bekommen und manchmal zu gewinnen. <3

  3. 📢 Sony anuncia Project Defiant! O primeiro fight stick sem fio para PS5 e PC, com latência ultrabaixa e design inovador! 🔥
    📅 Lançamento: 2026

  4. It took about 3 hours yesterday to make the new faceplate for this arcade stick:

    still making a new stick but I repaired the current one at least. Now I gotta update the character art in those buttons.

    Gotta love #DIY #Arcadestick #fightstick struggles in the #FGC #FightingGames

  5. My #StreetFighter6 execution is bad enough as it is. That crack certainly ain't helping.

    Time to go machine a new one in my backyard lmao

    Gotta love #DIY #Arcadestick #fightstick struggles in the #FGC.

  6. So, a small change to the code has significantly reduced additional lag. Instead of reading inputs -> processing inputs -> writing outputs I'm now reading the inputs and writing the outputs at the same time which I probably should've been doing since the beginning. The max lag went from about 89 usec down to under 20 usec. Very happy with the result. #programming #fightstick

  7. So, things completed on the fight stick for initial testing:

    - Stability testing under Windows (about 2 hours)
    - Stability testing on the PS1 (about 3 hours)
    - Compatibility with the Brook Universal Fighting Board (4-in-1)

    Left to test:

    - Stability testing on the MiSTer
    - Compatibility with the Brook Universal Fighting Board (Fusion)
    - Compatibility with the Brook Zero-Pi Fighting Board

    Things are going smoothly so far overall. #gaming #fightstick #electronics

  8. The stability tests for the fighstick have been much better than expected. Played *Wild Arms* for over 2.5 hours and everything was perfectly stable. Later on tonight I'm going to pull out the MiSTer and continue testing everything out. However, the current firmware has been very stable. #electronics #fightstick #gaming

  9. Next up: the MiSTer FPGA. There is an issue where the input board does not like being plugged in before powering on the MiSTer, however works flawlessly otherwise. #electronics #fightstick #mister

  10. Initial testing has started. The fightstick is pulling about 1W with the RGB LEDs connected to the input board along with the OLED display. First up, the Playstation 1 via the Brook Wingman PS2 adapter. Surprisingly no issues whatsoever, the fighstick worked perfectly, there was enough power for the RGB LEDs...very, very nice. #electronics #fightstick #ps1

  11. Pushed the code to the repo for the RGB support and updated the documentation. Still need to update the pictures, but I'm done with this for today...lol. #fightstick #programming

  12. Hell yeah, got the RGB stuff working. In a complete related note, there is a significant difference between `uint8_t` and `uint32_t`. However, all of the JSON parsing works and there hasn't been any noticeable impact on the display loop. #programming #electronics #fightstick

  13. I think we're in business. Got the RGB code running on `core1` with the display code so it shouldn't impact any of the input and output processing. Got the LEDs triggering on the `L2` button and you can see it activating on the adapter board (left), the display, and the button RGB LED PCB in pink. #electronics #fightstick

  14. So, the Kaimana J4 RGBs are definitely `WS2811` RGB LEDs and the color order is Green/Red/Blue. Got FastLED working and it seems that for the J4 that all of the RGB LEDs are addressable. I might make another version of the input board if I get the time to toggle the +5V rail going to the LEDs, but for right now everything is doing what it's supposed to. Unfortunately I am bitbanging the data to the RGB LEDs though. #electronics #programming #fightstick

  15. Got the RGB LEDs working on the UFB Input Board. Still need to get the code running on the board, but the pinout is good to go. Now to get FastLED to work with `SPI1` on a Pico 2 which will be fun. #electronics #fightstick

  16. The UFB Input Board (v1.2) hooked up to the adapter board and the code was pushed to the Pico 2. Everything is looking perfect, config loading from the MicroSD card, and all of the inputs and mapping functions working. Next up is the RGB part of the board. #electronics #fightstick

  17. The final version of the UFB Input Board came in and they look awesome. The extra breakout of `SPI1` along with some unused GPIO pins off the Pico should make things easier for adding RGB and other fun things. #electronics #fightstick

  18. Wooo, the new UFB input boards come in on Thursday/Friday. White PCB with black lettering...I'm so stoked. Once I get the assembled I can start working on the RGB code. #electronics #fightstick

  19. Finally added a proper license to the fightstick project. Honestly, I'm stoked to get the last revision of the input board in from JLCPCB so I can make all of the RGB. #fightstick #electronics #programming

  20. Final version of the UFB input board with the added RGB/SPI support. Broke out a new header with some of the pins which should make things easier to expand. #electronics #fightstick
