# chuni-lite
|
|
Slidy air towers for an arcade chuni slider without backplate. Bare minimum docs because I don't expect too many people to have access to chuni cab sliders without backplates.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Current versions can be found at:
|
|
- CAD: chuni-lite\chunair-cad\airs\print\f1
|
|
- PCB: chuni-lite\chunair\chunair\chunair_v2\v2-1-2 & chuni-lite\chunair\chunair_core\v1
|
|
|
|
Note: I swapped the side the pads are on for chunair_core. Oops. Wires will go across the board for now, no biggie. WS2811/WS2812B optional.

Can hand wire, or replace air_tower_top_1 3D print with chunair pcb. chunair_core PCB also optional, but is there for ease of wiring(find a way to secure the pro micro if you don't use chunair_core)
|
|
|
|
Basic steps:
|
|
0. Wire up your slider's 12v and DB9. Crimps recommended. 11" 4 wire recommended for 12v, 9" 3 wire for DB9.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|

|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
1. Print parts. Then print a mirrored set. Glue magnets with super glue except for the one on slider which is inserted from the outside - glue that one in with hot glue. Pay attention to the magnetic poles!!
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
2. Assemble slider_rail and air_tower with hinge, flat head screws, and nuts and insert into slider (double check orientation)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
3. Glue leds/pds if you are using air_tower_top_1. Wire according to the diagram in "ac chuni/wiring.png". If you have PCB, solder resistors and leds/pds - 10K resistors are marked, the other 3 are 150 ohm resistors. With PCB, recommended wire length is around 30", 9 wires for RGB, 8 for no RGB.
|
|
3a. If you want RGB, add a 3 piece WS2812B LED strip in the middle and solder it up like the picture.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
4. Shove unsoldered end of ribbon cable through the channel.
|
|
5. Screw air_tower_top_2 to the pcb or air_tower_top_1(depending on which you have) using rounded m3 heads while threading through air_tower. Don't forget to put the printed bumper piece on one of the screws.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
6. Solder to Pro Micro or chunair_core pcb depending on what you have. Make sure you slide the slider_rail into the slider first before soldering.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
7. Repeat steps 2-6 for the other side.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
8. Add zip ties to core. Use 4 m3x8 bolts and nuts to mount db9 and chunair_core to core. Press fit 12v barrel connector and hot glue into place.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
9. Thread M4 screws through rubber foot and slider to mount to slider.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
10. Use existing M4 screws on the chunithm slider to mount core. Zip tie down core & power cable
|
|
11. Flash firmware and test to make sure everything works. Then add adhesive rubber feet on each bumper in addition to the bottom of the airs.
