Any interest in Mad Planets/Reactor interface PCB blank?
I finished this up at the end of last year, but once I had one built, I didn't have a Mad Planets to test the populated board in. So it sat...
Then Bill K. asked about them a few weeks ago and last night finished testing on his setup. He was able to test the PCB blank for both a Mad Planets build and a Reactor build and it worked for both.
- To explain this further, it's a Mad Planets Interface PCB, but it can be built up either for a Reactor or built up for a Mad Planets since it's basically the same circuit.
---Also, and I haven't tried this, but I think you can turn a Q-bert PCB into a Reactor or a Mad Planets by populating some of the empty spots on the Main PCB. I haven't looked at this for about 4 years, but I remember thinking at the time it was possible. It was the interface PCB that was the hard part to get and kept you from making a working game. I know there are some minor differences in the sound PCB, but I can't remember what they were.
So would there be any interest in these? I was thinking around $35/each shipped.
