RCEU530-reArcade

new Arcade PCB with autofire

reArcade is an all microswitch drop-in replacement PCB for the Arcade joystick.
Added is the possibility of an autofire using a 555 timer.
Microswtich in firebutton - in case you don't want to modify the original pcb.

In order to use autofire, a new cable is required which supplies 5v.

The long arm microswitch needs to be bent 90deg, 1.5cm from where it enters the house, then +1.1cm from there approx 105deg. You may need to test it by trial-and-error. Rendered Pic
