GRS Star Wars Yoke Assembly Video: https://youtu.be/NPqFm8X4k0g Assembly Instructions: http://wagnerstechtalk.com/grs/#New_GRS_Arcade_Flight_Yoke These files will allow you to create a self-contained GRS Flight Yoke Desktop control panel. While the original design of the GRS Yoke was to be used as a replacement for the original Star Wars Arcade or Arcade1UP cabinets, using the models below you can build an enclosure so you can use it with your PC/Raspberry Pi on your desk. It's great having options and this is what this design provides. Check out Glen's Retro Show (GRS) Game-play video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDuxgkzC3JE&t=5s Things You'll need: • GRS Flight Yoke (Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L7TVCM2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B08L7TVCM2&linkCode=as2&tag=wagnerstech09-20&linkId=3c28c2bd813c4b4f082673f2aadb5ba2 - NOTE: May show unavailable, should be re-stocked soon) • Moukey 2 PCS C Shape Desk Table Mount Clamp (Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L7TVCM2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B08L7TVCM2&linkCode=as2&tag=wagnerstech09-20&linkId=3c28c2bd813c4b4f082673f2aadb5ba2 ) • OpenCADE Base - See here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3445410 , you can pick a base with no front hole cutouts or one with two front hole cutouts. • M3 Screws (Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L7TVCM2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B08L7TVCM2&linkCode=as2&tag=wagnerstech09-20&linkId=3c28c2bd813c4b4f082673f2aadb5ba2 ) • M3 Nuts (Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L7TVCM2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B08L7TVCM2&linkCode=as2&tag=wagnerstech09-20&linkId=3c28c2bd813c4b4f082673f2aadb5ba2 ) For this build, you'll need to 3D print a left+right Yoke support (there is an option above to print both at the same time). Each will be screwed into the sides of the Base. You'll also need the GRS_YokeCP (Control Panel) and the OpenCADE Base mentioned above. Assembly: • Remove the loose metal plate from the GRS Yoke. • Using the large screws included with the GRS Yoke, slide the screws through the top of the GRS Yoke into the control panel and use the included nuts to secure (*NOTE: rotate the yoke for easier access to the screw holes). • Mount the left+right supports to the OpenCADE base using the M3 screws+nuts. • Route the USB cable out the top of the OpenCADE base and bundle all other cables for the yoke inside the base (cable tie, electrical tape, etc.) • Wrap some electrical tape or cable tie around the USB cable to keep it from sliding out the back of the OpenCADE base/notch at the top. • Using the M3 screws + nuts, secure the control panel to the Base. • Use the clamps mentioned above (or use your own) to clamp the assembly to your desk. ** WARNING ** - The GRS Yoke is top-heavy and can easily be tipped over. Until secured to your desk, use extreme caution to eliminate the possibility of it tipping over and falling off your desk.
