Brooklyn Research collaborated with Death By Audio Arcade on building a universal controller board for Bumblebear Games‘ arcade cabinets. The current features of the board include: 32 distinct button inputs, 16 addressable +12V LED outputs, 40W AB Audio Amplifier, digital volume control, support for WS2812 and APA102 LEDs, Serial Communication, unique Molex Connectors for all inputs and outputs, reverse polarity protection, and an additional 8 input DIP Switch for on board configuration.
Brooklyn Research and Death By Audio Arcade was tasked with prototyping, programming, and testing out the individual features of the controller board. Once each individual feature was working in isolation, everything was integrated together and a larger board was designed.
