Beatmania controller using Arduino Leonardo

Im in the middle of a much needed rehab on my Dance Dance Revolution cabinet, which means its torn apart and unplayable at the moment. That's just no good, as I need some sort of BEMANI fix.

I have some Beatmania games I've never gotten around to playing, because I don't have a proper controller (and I cant just use a keyboard, because I'm some sort of purest or something). And I just finished a major project on one of my arcade cabinets (write-up soon to follow), which left me with a bunch of extra arcade buttons. So I might as well make something.

I started with a project box, drew a simple little layout, drilled some holes, and mounted the buttons.

(its not pretty, but it works)




Then wired it all up.

 And threw together some code.
