Remove the mounting plate from the joystick. Mark where you want your buttons and joystick (including those on the edge for coin and start), and drill 28mm holes for each one. So mark it up, and cut out the minimum that you need (to help maintain the table's already waning stability). I was a bit rougher cutting the access panel in the back, as it's not as visible as the table top. This means that once you've got the screen, all you need to do is drop it into the hole we're about to cut into the PIK3A table top.Īnd by removing the bezel around the LCD, the screen will sit flush with the top of the table, and give you that essential minimalist finish. By taking the screen chassis out of the plastic casing (nothing complicated there - take out the screws and prize the two halves apart) you should be left with the screen inside the shielding housing that's almost exactly the same depth as a LACK coffee table. The old Acer AL1716 monitors we used seem fairly generic, in terms of 17" LCD screens, so hopefully yours will pan out the same. So, let's begin with the hacking and sawing, and then we'll look at the innards. This isn't really intended as a woodworking project, but we trashed at least one table when prototyping this so maybe we can help you to make only the holes the table needs. The Power: A Raspberry Pi 2.5A USB power supply, and a mains extension.Th e Sound: This pair of USB-powered computer speakers.The Display: An old 17" LCD monitor (4:3 ratio is better given the square shape of the table).
The Joystick: A classic, four-way ball-top joystick.Let's begin with an overview of the parts you'll need: It's an IKEA Lack coffee table with an LCD monitor cut into the top, arcade controls next to the monitor, and a Raspberry Pi 3 and accessories buried inside the table. So here's the gist of this simple, but super-stylish project. So here's how to make your own minimalist, contemporary interpretation of the classic coin-op cocktail cabinet that uses an IKEA coffee table and a Raspberry Pi 3. But this time around, with the Raspberry Pi 3 now in the wild, we wanted to do something a little bit different, too. It's the perfect stepping stone to bring people eye-to-eye with the Raspberry Pi if it can play all those awesome, classic arcade games, it can also do so much more!Īnd that's why gaming is often our go-to project when it's time to show people what the Pi is all about. Gaming is the perfect way to help newcomers to the Raspberry Pi to connect it with a recognisable lifestyle technology.
