This is sort of PC gaming related since the computer is a Raspberry Pi.

Since the car is in the shop waiting for the DNR order to kick in, and the plane is in the shop for its annual inspection, nothing much motor related to do this weekend. So, working on assembling the 3/4 Atari Arcade machine my kids gave me for Christmas. We had wait for the vinyl skins to get in because Micro Center forgot to give them to them when they picked it up at our local store. Fortunately, it comes in four boxes and they scan each as they check them out so they knew they had forgotten one).

First time I've tried to apply vinyl to anything, but what I'm finding out is that at least on flat surfaces all my wallpaper experience makes it a snap. I also learned I enjoy it just about as much as hanging wallpaper...

Picture of the left side panel, ready for final trim. Right panel has the Centipede running up it.

The control panel has all the buttons and joysticks attached ready for wiring. There's Plexiglas over the graphics to protect it.
