PI Arcade Controller

For this CSAI project, we made an arcade controller using a Raspberry Pi with some buttons. To make the controller, we made a box to hold the Pi and all of its components. After that, we downloaded a special file that will configure the Pi to display a game system. Inside the box, I wired the buttons through each other so the circuit circles around all the buttons to send signals to the Pi. At this step, I was done, so I then go on to connecting an HDMI cable to a monitor and testing the configuration.

This is where things started to not function correctly.

After I got all of the parts together for the box and Pi, the Pi would not display the game system that was downloaded on the SD card. I tried to troubleshoot all the steps that were given and anything I thought of and nothing would work. For this reason, I had to disband this assignment because of the problems. In fact, this problem was even happening in school, so it is not that school had any difference.

In the future, it would be cool to recreate this project and retry it. I thought this project was cool because it was a great introduction to coding boards and how they work.
