Tutorial Instructables

Materials

  • 7-inch HDMI LCD Screen - $50
  • Raspberry Pi 4 - ~$100
  • Joystick and Arcade Buttons - $60
  • Speaker - $5
  • Wood / Acrylic - $40
  • 3D Printed Components - TBD

Overview

I was the kid growing up who would always download random games onto their calculator, and was a big fan of portable gaming devices such as the Nintendo DS's. I want to carry on this tradition by finally building a mini arcade cabinet for myself, which I can play with at any time. I project needing around 2-3 weeks to complete this project, with a timeline as follows:

Week One: Design the project parts I will need (laser cutting and 3D). Also, assemble the circuit and test the components I have.

Week Two: 3D print and laser cut the components I need, including the cabinet where the circuitry and controllers will be hoursed.

Week Three: Final assembly, and revisions as needed.

Idea Two: Moving Wall Art

Overview

I think it would be cool to continue building on my kinetic sculpture, including a motion sensor, where the photo would start if there was movemenet nearby. I project needing around three weeks, according to the following timeline:

Week One: Design the project parts I will need (laser cutting and 3D). Also, assemble the circuit and test the components I have.

Week Two: 3D print and laser cut the components I need, including the hands, and the board or stand where the circuitry and controllers will be hoursed.

Week Three: Final assembly, and revisions as needed.
