Summary Arcade joystick with RetroPie (on Raspberry Pi 3)

Goals

A emulation of the best games of the old retro machines on RetroPie, including Amiga and C64. My main purpose of this page is to direct you to the sources I found on the internet. This wil not be a step for step instruction, use your own brains ;-)

I use a Raspberry Pi 3 as hardware with RetroPie for all the emulation software.

For the case i created my own, you will find here the corner parts and lasercut files. The case is made of 2 mm acrylic plate, to be honest this is to thin to be sturdy enough, so I made the top plate stronger to added a wood 3 mm top plate and add a 'rib' in de middel of the joystick. With this the joystick feels sturdy enough.

If you want to see this joystick in action you can see it at makerspace TwenSpace

Needed parts
