Guitar hero Switch Box!

***DJDAudio*** · 09-15-2008, 10:38 AM

Well I had 20 Min. to kill before a local car show so here it is haha,

Here is a sneak peek inside,

IT is a full Custom controller.

Pick a Fret for the corner you want then flick the strum bar the direction you want it to go! haha

Again this is a prototype and the final Design to come soon.

But in the Video I had only been using that guitar for less then 5 min. haha There is like no learning curve, it feels very natural.

Crazygenius13 · 09-15-2008, 10:44 AM

hilarious. good work as usual!

cavymeister · 09-15-2008, 10:52 AM

Can you post up a schematic? Also, what are you using for relays? I want to find a lower power relay block, but haven't had any luck and don't want to run 8 30/40 amp relays.

frshsqueezedon20s · 09-15-2008, 11:05 AM

thats dope!

They are small Reed relays, Very cheap

Once I get the Schematic off the napkin and onto the computer I can post it up haha.

well stop building kick ass stuff and we will stop requesting it...im joking of course its cool to see someone come up with creative and innovative things and actually make them work..

KingScratchie · 09-15-2008, 11:24 AM

That's awesome Doug,
makes me wonder what ya gonna think up next

Draggin88 · 09-15-2008, 11:28 AM

Eh, not a fan!

98lows10 · 09-15-2008, 11:29 AM

That is pretty badass, it would be crazy if you could still control guitar hero and your switches. It would be pretty tough to get a high score while you are in the truck getting tossed around.

sales8807 · 09-15-2008, 11:39 AM

thats killer man. im def. gunna be needing one.

***orangesonoma*** · 09-15-2008, 11:54 AM

I was planning to Fret my own song so it can play on a big screen in the bed and as you play along you would be controlling the truck to dance to the music haha.

Like a beginers guite to switch hitting haha.

***DJDAudio*** · 09-15-2008, 12:28 PM

haha if you go to google and look for something similar you get this

black_ice_02 · 09-15-2008, 01:40 PM

hamagc · 09-15-2008, 01:48 PM

Myst · 09-15-2008, 02:19 PM

slonlow2000 · 09-15-2008, 04:44 PM

Thats badass, but it would be hard as hell to follow with the truck moving haha

kevdog · 09-15-2008, 04:46 PM

Damn, that just blows my idea of an old school Nintendo controller swithbox out of the water! Definitely post up a schematic once you get it all worked out, I'm sure that it'd be more than helpful to me with my NES controller.

Thanks man!

Your truck does well at idle with air? i dunno what your idleing at but figured it'd be better electrically and edc wise idled more

misfitsbob · 09-15-2008, 05:24 PM

That's nuts, I'm not a fan of the game, but the switch box is sweet. Did you really do it 20 min before the show?

it would only be cool if the song was playing really loud so everyone could tell what was going on from a distance

Yup haha you can ask my friends, I was still working on the wiring at the show lol

INTERNATROLET · 09-15-2008, 06:58 PM

You know those light controllers that work to the sound music? I wonder if you could hook up the air ride controller to it and make the truck dance to the music too?

easily, just hook the power for the lights up to the relay. when the light comes on the relay is powered and boom, your truck dances to music. you could even do it to the ones that blink when base hits. lol
