STAGE 01
Teardown
A wooden case under a clear plexiglass top, with the artwork printed on a sheet in between. Four BT buttons, two FX buttons, Start, and two knobs for the lasers.
I drew the panel art myself in the style of the arcade cabinet, after laying out the button cut-outs in CAD.
Every button and knob runs to a small USB I/O board. I tested each switch and light on a breadboard first. The firmware and panel art are on GitHub.
