PiTrex back in stock

[councilface]

Theres still quite a few left. It seems that I didn't need to wake up at 5 to order mine! Wished I'd bought two now!

I've already got 2.

Are you on the Vectrex facebook group? Be a good idea to post a heads up there, too.

 

[councilface]

I am not, I'm not on FB. I may have to join though as I'm looking for vectrex controllers.

There's a few people making controllers (including virtvic), or are you only after original controllers? Clockwork Robot also sell a JIB (Joystick Interface Board) PCB which makes it pretty easy to make your own controllers, or connect other controls to the Vectrex.

If you were on the facebook group, you would have had a chance to buy some of my controllers, but I'm not making them anymore...

Asteroids and tempest styled ones are cool

I know you're not, I listen to the podcast.

I used a JIB recently to make a 'special' controller that uses leaf switch buttons and stick.
