CV Arcade Controller Mini PCB

A small board for wiring arcade parts - a microswitched stick and buttons - into a ColecoVision controller port.

Why a board

• The ColecoVision reads its keypad as a matrix rather than as twelve separate lines, so a hand-wired arcade panel needs the same decoding the original handset has inside it. That is what the board carries.
• With it, an arcade stick can offer the keypad the console's games actually require, instead of only the directions and two firebuttons.

Grips03 built and shared an arcade controller for the ColecoVision on the AtariAge forums, and the mini PCBs are the part of that work others can use in their own builds.
