  • Demonstration of how to wire multiple Super Impulse Tiny Arcade machines to a single, hardwired power source without the need for batteries. Makes it easy to turn them all ON at once. Sounds like an 80's arcade!

    I'd love to see an update on this project! Are they all sitting on a shelf, or otherwise displayed together? How do you have them set up so that they are still easy to play, now that they are all wired together? Anyways, very cool project and it was awesome seeing them all turned on at once! Very cool!

      I over-engineered this one! I ended up abandoning the idea of powering them all. I just put lithium batteries in them instead. All the wiring was a mess and made it hard to take them off the shelf to play. It would have been really cool to turn them all on at once with a switch, and leave them running with the attract sounds, but the problem is that they don't stay on very long before they automatically turn off. So turning them all on is a pretty short-lived experience. Lithium batteries were expensive, but no more expensive than all those adapters.

      @@kyle5574 Ah, well it happens! Still a good idea.
      Thank you so much for the update. LI batteries do sound like a solution that makes for a more playable display!
