This is my second attempt at a programmable stick. First one was two Mayflashes, an arduino and an LCD screen. Worked well but rubbish to play on and rubbish to look at. Hence, the motivation to try again.
This one is an astro-city panel, 2xCthlhu MCs, an LCD screen, 8 LEDs, and soon a PS3eye attached for player/hand-cam.
Pretty much done for now, the only thing I would think to add would be a shutting lid, and perhaps storage for the cables. Also, the PS3eye isn't actually attached yet, waiting til my replacement arrives before I do that. LEDs are in place now, no real functionality yet but will think of something. Wondering if I can find some opaque covers for them as they look a little small as is, and the drill holes are very obvious around them.
Will try some art for it one day. Will add GCN/PSX functionality one day.
HRAP3 for size comparison. This is no laptop stick.
Probably better to look at the videos here

as it gives a better idea of what the stick is capable of.
P.s. Cthulhus work like a charm, they seriosuly reduced the amount of effort this took.
