Can you create a project for a mini arcade using a Sony PVM 8045. (8 inch monitors). That would be the coolest thing to build and nobody has done so far...

Great solution for retrofit.. If planned from beginning I would prefer some vol+ vol- arcade buton connected to the rpi gpio so you control the volume from the rpi! never done it but seems simple to add thoses commands.
@TheGeekPub 5 жыл бұрын
Yes. You could do that with a rotary encoder and a couple of GPIO pins. But remember, many people are building these with PCs and PC based SBCs. Not always a GPIO available or code. Plus, anyone can do this mod regardless of skills.

Yes I agree the simple stereo log pot is a great universal way and will always work! I also got a NUC laying around ready for a bartop when I stop procrastinate 🥺. Got a cheap arcade1up and parts to add hdmi on the monitor and some usb cable encoders but I read quality was crap so I returned it. wood work isnt my cup of tea but electronics so I should buy a bartop mdf kit
@chucksgrace3225 4 күн бұрын
Thanks for this. Not seeing much direction on the ground green wire. Do you take one green wire and splice it from the jack and plug to that extra spot on the potentiometer you applied solder to? Im mainly asking because the diagram doesn't show the green ground wire going to the potentiometer directly.

Great video. My wife decided that we needed to add a "night mode" for our 2 arcade cabinets if we want to use them after the kids go to bed. In the video, you used a B500K Ohm potentiometer (linear.) I tried an A500K Ohm potentiometer (logarithmic,) but didn't have any volume control except at the last 10% - which was basically like on/off. I am going to try the exact same B500k Ohm linear pot that you used and hopefully get better results. One of my builds has an amp, while the other is audio from a JAMMA harness. Wondering if the same pot will work for both builds.

Mike, a better and cleaner option not to mention easier, would have been to use a rotary encoder on the GPIO and run a plug-in to adjust the volume, no need to use an expensive dual gang pot.
