Switch Button Board

Before this I wanted to make a foot switch for the installation. But I have a few problems to make it work, and because of that, I decided to go for the hand button. I must say that the interactivity will be less the fun (or less aesthetic value?), but I have no time to figure :(

I use an acrylic that I bought from an art shop in Taman Melawati.

...and the result...well, not so neat. haih... clumsy.

Modifying The Dot Matrix Switch

I modified (soldering) the switch of the Dot Matrix board to make it longer and separated because I want to put in a different button that I bought later

Joy Pad Hack

This is some of the picture in my attempt to hack a joy pad, with some help from a friend, I manage to make it work (thanks a lot Jibin). The joy pad will be use to trigger the flash clips. The software that I use to detect the key press is xRC 1.1.00
