ITT: I built a DDR Pad

[Anthony of [TGA]]

I just got it working, It's using a bit of a thicker frame then most of the normal homebrew pads. It also uses arcade arrows and sensors.

Arrows: $10 a piece on Channel Beat
Sensors: Betson







And just for good measure:





BTW, thats Joel (THE MOLE). he sucks at life.

Looks like it would be a really good pad.

A bit unattractive, though.

It's still not done, each arrow has to be coated in metal still. thats just the first step towards a read arcade accurate DDR Pad. Metalwork and Bars still to go.

OK then it WILL look good (because you mentioned "metal.")

The goal was before I made it pretty to make it accurate. Since there is no br we are limited to the difficulty we can play for the time being, but thats deff a 99.46% on Birdie and I deff haven't seen that on my TX2000

That's a pretty great pad, and an even greater body. How much were the sensors though, or more precisely, how much should they cost?

[Akkaraju]

woah, looking slick

that's looking like one very respectable pad you made there

Those are official Andimro sensors bought from Betson. The part number is 501032-00 and I belive they are $25 for the general public.

so... 4 sensor per arrow and 4 arrows = 16 sensors, so...

400 bucks? 0_O

again, thats the general public price. I got them for alot less. Not to mention right now I am only rocking 2 sensors to an arrow. I set them up real nice and the pad is way more accuare then the arcade pad. You'd be amazed at how accurate new sensors are, and how long they last.

I guess he does fail at life seeing as he just played Keep On Movin'...and AAAs it.

[Eth3rStrik3r]

looks sturdy as hell, once it gets finished, make sure to add more pics, i want to see what your final design looks like

[TyTigeriku]

I see FLOW.


You sir, are awesome just for that.

But anyways, the pad may look unattractive, but judging by the scores it plays really well. Can't wait to see the finished product.
