Power
Streaming PC
BIOS setting for Auto-on with power-on (e.g. from switch)
Audio
Gainclones are a DIY version of a $3000 audio system called the GainCard.
NGALAC possesses a LM3886TF based dual supply amp which requires a split rail +28/-28 DC supply
Example DIY circuits which are easy to build with clear instructions
DIY PSU price is very high, will compare to purchase options
Using computer PSU may be possible after boosting +/-12 to +/-28, however, current on -12V line may not be enough to rate maximum wattage

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Transformer Dual 28V secondaries, 4.6A Max current | $28.00 | VPS56-2300 | Digikey | $28.00 |

Connecting to arduino on /dev/ttyUSB0... done.

Start Stream!
First 3 states are switches set high or low
Last 3 are LED states (or anything else)
Can trigger LED strips or whatever else as we wish, run pre-defined patterns, etc.
Software
Arduino IDE 1.8.1+ * CmdMessenger Python 3.5.4+ * vitualenv, virtualenvwrapper-win, PyCmdMessenger, obs-ws-rc Git
notes
evtest to check inputs from the IPAC-2 on rpi
add player 2 keys to retropi retroarch config
swap out audio receiver for car amp thing
test autio streaming with mic, cabinet audio, and stream audio
found a woofer to test with (tbd)
usb shit - polling on rpi
keep alives for obs, obs restart on power on, rpi watchdog, faulover OBS instance, switched by obswsrc cannot connect. how will this work with auto start, and how to select which instance is stealing?
impedance matching circuit
static electricity on case
Arduino COM port detection on streaming PC in python
Do we want to record and stream?
maybe physically generate a plug/unplug signal via detection to arduino and trigger this: https://zedt.eu/tech/linux/restarting-usb-subsystem-centos/
arduino triggering done by detecting various grounding or other (is there a power? must be.) for each controller, then sending that to arduino, then to pi.
