So I just ordered a bunch of parts to make my project wireless. Raspberry Pi for onboard computing, SD card, wifi module, battery. I'm also going to start working on a Flask or Django powered web frontend for KAPCOM. This will be used for allowing configuration of displays and input modes. For now, I'm going to use my iPhone as the display since I don't want to drop ~$50 for a Raspberry Pi display. I'm not sure whether I'll eventually get one, that remains to be seen. All of this was originally on my 'plans for the future' list, but I've decided I'd rather not re-do the enclosure, so if I'm going to integrate a display, I should do it before.
Meanwhile, the enclosure is still in progress. I'm still planning the shape of the enclosure in SketchUp. Meanwhile, I'm working on 3D printing the throttle handle, but the library hasn't been working out. Hopefully I can get it working, but I may need to resort to another service.
