SHINSANWASWITCH - blog of creating DIY-analog of OBSA-LHSXF-LN

And here it is! First full gaming test of SHINSANWASWITCH :)
Starting it was not without problems, because it needed to fix some little things and it becomes to works PERFECTLY
Also I think that now button is triggering too early, although it is not particularly noticeable, since the button travel length is not that big, but I think that I'll make a little bit smaller, but it's really hard to understand how much smaller it's needed, so I have to change something by eye :)
So, watch the video :)

 

Here is test of first batch of SHINSANWASWITCH, that awaiting dispatch to it's buyer. I hope he'll write his review on it after receive :)

 

Very slowly, but more or less confidently I building new controller and arcade cabinet. I bought new 100mm arcade buttons, installed them to my old prototype to test SHINSANWASWITCH with them and I found some problems with BUTTONS. You can look at that to understand. Also I made 3 types of length of lever for switch, I'll upload everything to github very soon, so you can use it if you need it :)

 

There is a yeah after I created thread about SHINSANWASWITCH and interest about creating this device and now I think we can publish SHINSANWASWITCH source to create it by yourself if you want :)
Very soon info about some nuances of assembling and further changes to better will be uploaded to Github.
Thank you very much for your help, especially @Doctopus and @N10248 (sorry if I forget someone), and for your interest :)

I making a little (or not little) update of SHINSANWASWITCH version 1.1
For now what is done:
- A little bit moved switch's lever more to center of lever of button. Before with it were no problems, but in any case I think this will be better.


- added deepening in one of the places of body to made possible to install homemade one-layered-boards and LED-driver will be soldered on other side of textolite and when board will be installed - body will not interfere the PCB, because LED-driver use some space.


- also added different boards variations, so you can make that variant what you need by yourself (one-layered-board with LED-driver or with resistor, if you do not have/want to use LED-driver) at home or order it in JLCPCB or somewhere else. To make it at home more easily (I hope), I unified all holes that board has to use standard small drills (0,8mm for THT-elements, 1mm and 1,4mm for optocoupler, 2mm and 2,6mm for hopes to mount board to body of SHINSANWASWITCH used there). I'll try to make it by myself to be sure everything right, but I can see that this work will need quite a bit of caution.


I'll upload it on Github today or tomorrow, I need to make it somelike structured and understandable :)

 

I updated SHINSANWASWITCH Github into a two branches: main and version1.1 to be clearly sure that I'm not ruining anything (that's what I needed to do from the start :)))
In version1.1 branch now there is a lot more info, then in main, but later, when I'll confirm that everything good I'll merge branches and most likely version1.0 will be replaced by version1.1. But if you want - you can look into a README in shinsanwaswitch_PCB thread, there I wrote about nuances of assembling and more detailed info about differences of boards and a lot more will be soon :)
