hello good evening im a big fan of your channel . ive already prepared lots of metal sensors . but im suck at doing soldering and stuff . can you guide us on how to do it . what board to use or what gamepad to use to mod the dance pad . or any alternatives or if you have any links that you can provide where we can learn on how to properly use a board or how to convert a gamecontroller into a main board of dance pad . sorry for my english . i just really love your creation .
One of the best videos I've ever found!! Inspired me to make these sensors for my wooden dance mat - medium.com/@melhuang_/building-a-diy-dance-dance-revolution-e136265bbbfc. Thankyou so much Hieu!
*Update*09/19/16 - Read "About" in my channel for more info/links to other guides *Update*09/16/16 - To clarify, I use a hard-type of foam to put between the sensor. I'll explain further in part 2/3 of the guide *Update*09/16/16 - By the way, the length of the metal bar is 10cm, the length of the welded metal bar is 4cm At the request of some of you, I now post a sensor style. This type is not the best, but it is the most durable and easy to make. Need: -2 power cords - 2 iron bars with holes drilled at the top (1 bar with convex part and 1 flat bar, see in the clip for easier visualization) - black duct tape - iron glue - 2 pieces of black foam - 1 piece of inert rubber (hard rubber) The total cost for a sensor piece is probably about 5k (compared to Andamiro's $9 (200k) which is too cheap). Sensor because it is custom so thin-thick, long-short, durable, sensitive, bla bla bla can be adjusted. If you want to attach it to the genuine floor, it's fine. Get to work. 1. Attach the wires to the 2 iron bars and then cover them with black tape. Note that all the copper wire part of the wire should be marked, otherwise it will only show up when it causes the button to stick. 2. Cut 2 pieces of foam and stick it on the two ends of the convex piece, then stick the flat piece on. Note that the sucker here is already watched, so it should be responsive and sensitive. Depending on the material and the elasticity of the material you use, check it yourself. 3. Watch to see if the gap between the convex piece and the flat iron bar is ok, make sure it's not sticky. (my gap is 1 glass) 4. Stick the black tape at both ends to fix, note that if you don't stick it tight, the button will stick, pull the black tape out for a while and then stick it loosely. It's okay not to paste it because it's already pasted with iron glue. 5. Stick the inert rubber on the head to make the contact point between the sensor and the mica (similar to the andamiro floor, it is an L-shaped iron with 3 screws, the top has a rubber pad used to fix the sensor and mica) Accomplished.
Hi, i followed all the instructions and it is very easy to do it if i just follow lolx but one thing that i didn't find is what material did you use for the base?? and also what are those 4 corners that you use to make the dancepad stay on the floor?, regards from México! :D
Yeah, sensors wiring and gamepad wiring will be in part 3. For now I'm about to finish part 2, which is about sensors adjusting and placing. Wiring is not that hard, so do not worry :)
You could use any PC gamepad. Some basic skill in soldering will help to join the floor sensor with the gamepad to make it a completed controller. You can find other tutorial videos from other DIYers about that on youtube.

Wow, this looks so great. Like the real thing! Cannot wait to try it tomorrow.

Hi I'm really interested in trying to make this, I just wanted to ask, what are you using as a translator for the switch data to be converted to USB.
Hi, i followed all the instructions and it is very easy to do it if i just follow lolx but one thing that i didn't find is what material did you use for the base?? and also what are those 4 corners that you use to make the dancepad stay on the floor?, regards from México! :D
i will translate it when im free tonight :)
Can you give wiring instructions and a more in depth tutorial on how you made your pad?
Thanks

Wiring is not that hard, so do not worry :)
@@HieuNguyen-dl5nd No part 3????
@@miraikizan2960 Hello, we had kids so we stopped the DIY Project and decided to buy an official PIU Machine.

Can u made more vids about how to make a piu board?
so the next step?
What did you used for the arrows?
hey question what board did you use on this ?
You could use any PC gamepad. Some basic skill in soldering will help to join the floor sensor with the gamepad to make it a completed controller. You can find other tutorial videos from other DIYers about that on youtube.
I recorded videos most of the other steps but still need time to translate and add subtittle :)
hello,can you translate all the description what you are write?

How thick are these 10 and 4cm bars?
Thickness doesn't matter. But you should use thicker bars so they wont be bend easily
