With all the wires connected, we can insert the hardware into the box. Screw in the buttons and
screw down the joystick.
2.3 – RASPBERRY PI CONNECTIONS
At this stage, we wire the Raspberry-Pi and seal up the box. Place the Raspberry-Pi inside the box
at a convenient location that allows all the wires to reach it as well as has easy access for power,
ethernet and HDMI cables. Trace the Raspberry-Pi outline with a marker and cut out the ports for
the power, ethernet and HDMI cables.
We suggest putting these where they won’t interfere
with the game play.
It may be wise to skip ahead and load the operating system and emulator
software onto the board before fastening it inside the arcade box. (Or cut out a small slot
underneath the box to get quick access to the SD card port)
