Home made Dance Dance Revolution Pad with bar (DIY)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2019
- This is my DIY DDR pad made from wood and aluminum. Designed to look like the original DDR arcade version. I wasn't able to document all the methods and procedures from scratch to finish on this project. I just want a quick video on how I managed to build my own DDR pad.
Total cost: around $250

This is the best diy DDR pad I've seen so far
Thank you! I wanted to build this since DDR Supernova came out. Back then, all I can do is to imagine how to build it exactly as the original. Also, fund was my concern since I didn't have a stable job back then. It's a dream come true for me.
@@reckyjo00 Yeah this is incredible, well done man! Super inspiring to crack down and finally make my own to this level, which I've been planning to do for a while.
@@FeeLtheHertZ you can also do it. Goodluck!
Amazing Job! Too bad I don't know how to attach those wires.
I was planing on break down my old soft dance pads to use them in this, I don't know of that will work.
@@nofreakinway735 that will do. You just need to trace each foil path going to the main board. You'll see one path is connected on all four panels (ground or common) and one connection per panel ( ⬅️⬇️⬆️➡️). Then mark or tag each contact on the soft pads mainboard.
I finally finished my homemade pad!! This video helped me out so much with measurements and suggestions, and you even gave me the decal files!! I couldn’t have done it without you, thanks so much ♥️
Glad to hear you finally built your own pad. I hope you can share your video about your pad.
@@reckyjo00 sir can i have the decal files im also making my own... Question please.... puzzle mat foam + decal / sticker then 10mm acrylic??? hindi ko po gets yung 2 layers of decal
@@christiannemaderal3705 not using puzzle mats anymore. May available sensors na sa market. Outdated na yang video. You can check my video in TikTok (iamjorick) I can send link ng decals sa messenger
How to become the most popular guy in the barangay! Awesome design and have fun!
damn, that looks amazing! Great build and great play!
@pencillover12 thanks!
Such skill to build that thing. Perfect copy indeed. Great work.
Nice pad & nice full combo on it 👌
The best homemade pad ive' ever seen. Im gonna make my pad based on yours
Very impressed. Well done
This is by far best pad I've seen.
Thank you so much! You definitely got my subscription from this build!
Thank you.
Me too
this is amazing! i’m willing to buy it!
I wish things like these were this affordable without having to do a do it yourself. 250 dollars is much more affordable.
Me too. In my case, ordering one overseas will only make it more expensive. Yet, not satisfied with the build.
Amazing! Wanna build one myself now
this is an amazing project! I wish to make DIY pad someday but I honestly don't have any idea with the materials needed and such, but this helps a lot!! You should probably sell some :DD
I'll sell once I finish my second one. This time, all metal and stainless.
@@reckyjo00 I'd also be interested1
Ugh this was so well done I would've set and watched it be made with ADs and everything 😍
I wanted also to Monetize my RUclips so that I can make other projects.
@@reckyjo00 I think with some better editing (video looks like it was made in 2005 😉) and less annoying music your channel could be great! You obviously have the talent!!!
Good luck
@@kmaezz yup. I can only edit it on Power director while I'm on field back then. I have FCPX and I will definitely utilize it. Thanks for the advice, I welcome positive criticism.
Lupit neto pre ah ☺️
@Ezekiel Crisostomo kinareer ko yan dati pa hahaha!
Impressive!
AWESOOOOOOOOME
Just wow!!!!
wow. brilliant dude. teach me!!!
Amazing job!
Thanks!
Only a few minor thing's i would do different if following this myself. I would order the corner clamps, I know they're not crazy expensive and would rather save some time there. i would use counter sunk hardware on stationary panels, yes that can work when wrapping wood in metal. and steel rather than aluminum, just to save on cost.
Overall a really nice build, good work.
On my other builds, I did counter sunk all the screws and replaced all metals with stainless sheets. Upgraded the sensors and added programmable RGB led lights.
If you could link the plans you showed in the video that would be great, you did a great job btw :)
cool nice to see it
..
im making my foam dance pad for android phone and use Bluetooth controller
Dont use a bluetooth controller since that adds a few ms of delay which could ruin the experience.
Hey I'm trying to relive my ddr days with my son the wiring lay for the positive And ground for the controller
The only change I would made on this project is changing these "sensors" for actual sensors sold via Ali Express. They are awesome and would give a better feedback after press the button.
But anyways, awesome project, man!
That's right. Right now I'm on tight budget that's why I opt to use alternative sensor instead. I can upgrade it to original sensors.
@@reckyjo00 Nice, man! Do you have some wrote document about your pad to replicate it? It is better to follow while building your project!
@@AnayranPinheirodeAzevedo that's my mistake. I didn't documented all the procedures before while working on it. All I have are the measurements of all parts. But it will vary on materials you're going to use. My friends wanted me to build again and sell it to them. Maybe I can document everything again from scratch to finish.
Jorick Kutingting yes please! I showed this to my brother Anayran. I’m very interested in making this but I totally suck on this type of thing xD “Help me Jorick Kutingting, you’re my only hope” because here in Portugal there are no DDR cabinets anymore :’(
@@Xtriko oh my! I'm very much sad about the absence of DDR in your country.
Its funny how despite how small the arudino is. It's acutally a very strong pcb for DIY stuff
Dude this is amazing, I am about to build a doubles set and would love any thing you did to make it easier or anything you would do differently.
I will upgrade the sensors. Just waiting for the samples to be shipped. If it works like the original, I'll order in bulk for my next projects.
@@reckyjo00 have they come in? what's the consensus if so?
@@BacchusGames yes I have them. 32 pieces and I think these are great. I'm now re-designing the wiring and will add led lights if possible. I just need to try it first if I can tap it to the control board.
This is great! Can I pay you to make one for me, too? Hahaha please! Badly want one! Haha
Angas nito boss
Salamat!
Nice. The only improvement would be flush-mount (flat) screws, less "catching". This isn't a nitpick however, this build is supreme and contains much to be proud of. :-)
Done this improvements on my 3rd pad onwards since I'm selling then. Added led lights and arcade-like sensors using arduino leonardo to rid of polling rate issue.
Hi Jorick's,
Great video. I am currently trying to put all the components together to make your pad. I have a few questions:
1. How does the wiring work? It looks like you took the board from the controller and then just linked the sensors to each arrow on the pad. But the aluminum strips just need to be stepped on for it to trigger a response? If you can elaborate on this that would be very helpful!
2. how are the pads secured into the rest of the structure? Are they just placed in there because it doesn't seem like the brackets are holding them down
3. are the dimensions for the brackets based on one sheet of aluminum that you cut into two? Or did you use one sheet per bracket?
thanks!
You can chat me on my FB to give you details.
facebook.com/jfrefe
Dude, I would gladly pay good money for this. You should definitely think about selling them!
Starting to build my 2nd pad (all metal) I'm about to finish my brake bender so I can bend stainless sheets with ease. But I need to practice welding.
Jorick's Dude this pad is absolutely clean. How much would you even consider selling something like this or an all metal one?
@@holysnackpack for the all metal, I can't tell it right now. I'm still figuring out all possible measurement and adjustment for the internal parts. Also, the cost of additional tools.
Jorick's understandable! Give me an estimate when you can! I’m definitely interested.
I want to buy it!!!
Lupet
i think upgrading to a ardwino or a teensy instead of a controller would be better becuase of the polling rate, you most likeley would want a fsr instead of contact sensors, still amazing
Already did --》 ruclips.net/user/shortsBOXN8zn9ad0?feature=share4
kaingget naman
i wish i could do that. but i dont know any knowledge most of the stuff. except wood cutting, i know it just a little
I want to add top-left and top-right arrows to play solo mode on DDR Konamix. Advice?
You can. You can use L1 and R1 buttons or any buttons available. Just map it in Stepmania afterwards.
I Want to try this! Overall cost? Can you please tell me? Really beautiful work!
I don't have the exact cost breakdown, estimated it between $200 - 250 including some tools I bought for this project.
Followed your guide and it works like a charm!
A bit ghost steppy, but it works really well!
I already upgraded it to EZ2Dance sensors and it has much better response specially on high BPMs
@@reckyjo00 I should upgrade too. The rubber hoses work well, but only for slow and steady songs. I switched to the puzzle foam pads by cutting a few blocks and placing the foil tape on top of them. I'll look into it and see if I can get it upgraded. I'm using a PS2 dance pad since I have a lot of DDR games on the PS2. Thanks for the guide though!
@@5K00O I wish I can see your pad.
@@reckyjo00 It's on my channel, but it's a bit outdated. I found out that the panels would shift and almost leave the brackets so I crunched them all together and that solved the issue.
Since the fix, I've played it for hours and had some minor issues here and there (Ghost stepping), but it works now. I'll post an update video, but I do have a video of the pad in action.
It's all wood and I was originally supposed to add metal sheets to the pad but I forgot to.
Im really confused what the carpet foam puzzle material is or i have never seen it before, Currently in the process of making my own bc i have all the necessary supplies, just needed the metal and my boyfriend gets scrap material all the time. Im now realizing there are a bunch of other nerds like me who still wish DDR was always an option in every arcade now your lucky if you find one that works half decent. I drive an hour for a dave and busters just to play a few rounds. If mine comes out real nice, I am def going to find a way to produce them in batches to be sold off. I have been looking for my niche since I had my brain decompression surgery last year.
Edit: the carpet foam was my first design since I haven't found a suitable sensor that time. I don't want a noisy metal to metal or plastic to wood sound when stepping on it. After I found a suitable sensor, I started to mass prod and sold them to some of my friends.
Hi! could you tell me how to get the program , name and if is compatible with mac, TY!

Hello what software did you use on your laptop? Did you use step mania with a skin?
Yes, its Stepmania with the latest version. I just downloaded the DDR A Theme.
Hey I'm in the process of planning out my own build. Where did you end up getting the bar from? Did you make it yourself or did you order it from somewhere?
I made it myself. I ended up welding the angle instead of bending because I can't find bending services nearby.
@@reckyjo00 Interesting. I did manage to find a way to make my bar but i was having trouble finding the distance between the bar and the bottom of the down arrow. What distance did you end up going with?
@@Dnicerocks from the center of the pipe up to the edge of down arrow is 100mm or 4 inches. Just like the original pad.
Is there a method to get this to work with the PS2? I'm thinking of building one.
Yes. You just need to use a PS controller and solder directly onto the contacts. If you can find a knock off PS controller, that will do.
@@reckyjo00 Does the controller have to be fully functioning? I have a PS2 controller, and some of the buttons don't work.
@@ArGame. most of the time, the rubber buttons (black carbon) is worn out that's why it fails to register. Try to use any metal object to bridge the gold contacts and see if it work while plugged into the console. If so, you're good to go. Make sure to solder corresponding arrows exactly onto the controller. There's no button mapping in PS unlike Stepmania.
nasa magkano total cost at pwede bang order if sakali how much ?
Que ddr es? Es 3.9 o el 5? Ayuda
Nice! How did you get ddrA running at your home?
Its just Stepmania theme.
dude, this looks so nice for only $200? wtf bro lol
also, what if you added actual sensors such as FSRs?
Yeah, but it has no arcade sensors or FSR. Now I'm using Arduino microcontroller with programmable RGB and knock off arcade sensors. I also managed to use 1.5mm thick stainless sheets and bended bar. Now I'm selling it for about $500 equivalent.
are you planning on making a bunch of these? order ako sana if pwede haha
Some of my friends wants me to build again and sell it to them. The thing is I can't commit yet due to rainy season and I don't have the space as a workshop.
Do you have a guide you used to build these? I would love to build my own, but can't seem to find any good guides.
Just measurement from the original pad. Sorry, I wasn't able to document all the materials I used and while assembling it piece by piece.Thinking of making another one so than I can make video from start to finish then sell it.
@@reckyjo00 what did you use for the sensors?
@@almorea1738 Aluminum tape. It's still holding up. I will also replace it with copper tape (conductive adhesive) so that I can get rid of the wires on all four corners if you noticed the 4:49 mark
Jorick's please do. I would like to replicate this project!
dude, that's amazing, do you sell one ? I would be happy to buy one
Thanks! Not at the moment.
I would totally buy one too, haha
I would totally buy one too and pay for international shipping

do you still make/sell these? if so, where can i purchase these? really miss playing this game on arcades!
Planning to get back in business hopefully by the last quarter. The thing is, International logistics can be a challenge.
Why at 1:51 does the 885 x 17mm part appear taller than 850mm x 17mm if it's the same 17mm?
Originally, it was 50mm (original pad) but I can't find suitable wood size that's why I opted to make it 17mm on all sides. I didn't bother to change the drawing from MS Paint and I just changed the label from 50mm to 17mm.
@@reckyjo00 thank you very much tomorrow I will start making the cuts of the stationary panels my question is if I should cut them from 311mm or less due to the drop from 50mm to 17mm?
can I ask you one last question?
@@ianpinilla2184 size will vary on your materials. I used 3/4 inch thick plyboard (17mm) as stationary panels. If you're going fold a metal sheet, this will vary on its thickness. Mine is 1.5mm thick aluminum sheet.
@@ianpinilla2184 no need to bend those 885mm x 17mm and 850mm x 17mm . Its just metal covers to be attached on the sides of the pad, relative to 3/4 inch thick wood.
Hey man, nice build. Does it still hold up after 4 years? Does it make any unwanted sounds due to the aluminum?
I sold it 2years ago. I do have a new build and recently showcased it. You can check out my YT channel and browse for the latest video uploaded just today. I'm planning to sell pads again.

@@reckyjo00man im building mine, very humble but yours aree soo great!! Well done sr 🫡🫡🫡
i want to know how people get perfects at all. when i play games like super dancer online or stepmania, i get perfects, but going to PS1's DDR or even A20 Plus, there seems to be a major difference. on the other games, i press exactly on beat, i get perfects. on any DDR title, I press exactly on beat, I get greats. the only time I get perfect or marvelous is when i press "slightly before" the beat... that shouldn't be a thing at all. it even does it at an actual arcade. interestingly, there is a stepmania arcade rigged up and i have no issue with it. why is DDR so wonky with timing?
Impressive leave it to actual consumers to come up with decent fucking equipment thats usable if you aint got love for it its gonna be shit lol good job
I invested proper tools while working over seas. Now I fabricated my own brake bender for me to bend stainless sheet and its much more easier now.
How much does it cost?
First of all excuse my english, is not my native language: I saw that your pad is very wide and that helps that when you play songs with high stamina it does not slide on the floor, do you think if the pad is less wide the pad could slide? Thanks!
@niCSanitg it's the same size as the original pad. The reason why it's not sliding is because its heavy. Also, I added the rubber like foam mat underneath to absorb impact and prevent from sliding even on extreme gameplay.
@@reckyjo00 Thanks for your fast response! Can you tell me the weight of the pad? And yep, I see at 06:38 the foam. Thanks again.
@@niCSanitg I'm not sure, about 20kgs / 44 lbs maybe. I'll make another one again. This time, all metal.
@@reckyjo00 Thanks again for your response. I'll be tuned to your channel hoping to see a video of the final result.
what is the app you using in playing ?
Stepmania. You can also add Themes to make it look like official DDR.
