    Build your own Arcade Pong in a modular form factor!

    That might be the case, but a modular system also allows for the expandability I mentioned earlier. It also makes prototyping a lot easier, though I suppose that's mainly just an advantage for me... :) Nice! Do you have footage of it running? How did you implement color video, by the way? Does...

    Build your own Arcade Pong in a modular form factor!

    Yes, PCB prices vary by manufacturer (I've found JLCPCB to be the cheapest) but there's always a large price increase once the dimensions exceed 100x100mm. Another advantage of the multi-board design is that since all the important signals are available on the ribbon cables, it's possible to...

    Build your own Arcade Pong in a modular form factor!

    I considered using headers, but I never checked whether it's possible to get double-sided headers that have pins on one side of the PCB and sockets on the other. That said, if such a thing exists, it'd be possible to use them in place of the ribbon cable connectors.

    Build your own Arcade Pong in a modular form factor!

    Have you ever wanted to own the original arcade version of Pong from 1972? Now you can, for a much lower price! I've redesigned the circuit into five 100x100mm PCBs that connect via ribbon cables. Most of the out-of-production ICs have been replaced - there are only two ICs that aren't...
