PiJamma for Raspberry Pi

[Image]  Earlier we announced the PiJamma Project. PiJamma is an add-on PCB for the Raspberry PI that simplifies connecting retro hardware like old game controllers or jamma arcade bartop or cabs.

[Image]  Today my idea was to built a Arcade Stick that can be directly plugged to TV like the old good C64 DTV, but now with  "everything".

Planned Features:

- Acryl Arcade Stick: all the nice tech stuff can be shown.
- Raspberry PI with 32Gb SD, packed with emu stuff plus WLAN Adapter
- PiJamma PCB for connecting Arcade Controls
- HDM plug
- USB plug
- PSU connector
- LED Modded buttons with new Acryl holder
- Buttons with inlay artwork
- Artwork
- Aluminium Panel
- NeoGeo 4 Button Layout
- Sanwa JLF Stick unit with Link. Stick can be pulled off.

[Image]  One sees here the interface panel with USB, HDMI and power supply interface. Rapsberry PI will be powered via PiJamma.

[Image]  Arcade Controls connected to the PiJamma. Signals will be forwarded to Rasperry Pi GPIO interface. Additionally the LED Mod was installed.

[Image]  The stick unit can be detached. So transport is more easy.
