How I converted my DDR pad to FSRs

This is a bit of a brain dump on how I built my FSR DDR pad. Want to learn more about this? Check out the Stamina Nation discord, #pads channel: staminanation.com

Big thanks to Etienne who helped me improve my crappy audio, Sujeet for helping me through the software setup, and NUWGET for helping me get setup with a real video editing software.

Thank you much for this, I've been overthinking this for a year and this makes it easy to pull the trigger.

[@hunterbalto604]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[@rhythmgamesoda]

Great video! I was looking for a project with these bars on the sensors input. Thanks.

[@alpha_ray_burst]

AWESOME video. Super helpful and entertaining. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

[@euvo_sound]

Super informative! i might need this soon once i get my new stepmania setup running

[@Zarinah]

Awesome video! Informative and entertaining as always

[@stetsonvestal4751]

Nice. I think I showed you those leg levelers. Glad you got them.

[@noodlewraff]

Great video, love the fact that you still sprinkled some dom humor in there

[@DanAdamKOF]

Good info here. I'm working on a PIU pad build soon and I'm aiming to use FSR. This gave some great info to get started with.

[@lugea4618]

Awesome work, thanks for sharing 👌

[@Hsarus]

awesome video and great project man.

[@5K00O]

Cleaned up the “coom”? Lol

[@Gotmilk0112]

Oh shit, the Tilt @ Marlboro, Solomon Pond Mall? I used to play there every time I was up visiting my dad. ...the Supernova was just kinda okay, but the Extreme was completely dead. You didn't miss out on much.

[@NekohitaTenko]

great guide, memes put the cherry on top

[@RegalOrb]

Interesting, informative, and funny.

[@bmanstyle661]

Man I'm gonna have to do this

[@Rokushen]

there's no way in hell I could even consider doing something like this. Good job dude

[@zakizdaman]

Wow. Building my own pad as soon as I can.

[@RyuHirakashi1]

This was very informative! You still need to have a bit of technical knowledge to attempt a project. I wish I was able to do something like this myself.

[@hansliebe]

Dude, this is amazing.

[@domitg]

Thanks! I'm working on a new FSR pad, from scratch this time kzbin.info/aero/PL2vUwLUVuyIy4CD8DEwS7oZ_Y41vyYWWy

[@Miles64k]

Still can't get over the SpongeBob Mosfet LMFAO

[@ViolentBooGaming]

You're doing God's work DOM

[@alexmay7250]

also this vid is a banger

[@testamentazemus8854]

so, if you where going PC, ie: stepmania, why not go the parallel port i/o method? just curious, it would've been a little easier I think, though you still would've needed a 12v psu.

[@swindlesmccoop]

could you link me a zip of the sereni repo? i cant access github

[@Deusnocomando22]

pump it up is future kkkkkk

[@Aoreo]

0:38 Did you connect Dupont connectors to the FSRs or did you buy them like that?

[@domitg]

I bought them this way from interlink. I think they call them "female contacts & housing"

[@Aoreo]

@@domitg I was gonna get them, but then shipping was over $100 lol. I found something similar though so thanks for the help~

[@T1MB05L1C3]

What strength Velcro did you use? I think I bought stuff too strong

[@domitg]

I bought this one www.amazon.com/dp/B07YQWD4V3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_QJMUvztDVNh75 it is pretty strong. When i remove a sensor im careful to pull it from one corner and i try to keep it as straight as possible while i remove it

[@alexmay7250]

huh i was wondering why plastic sheeting was so expensive

[@vincenzofortunato3461]

I would not run a 100-240V cable inside my pad made of mostly metal. I would rather use an external power supply in this case :\

[@k0unitX]

Note to self: don't bother with lights if going FSR

[@SefyZero]

what a nightmare

[@schminkydink]

Do you use a modified DDR cabinet pad?

[@RogueFPS]

bro how do you even find pads.... i for the life of me can't even find a decent cobalt flux let alone a cabinet 😂😂😂
