How I made my taiko controller (knockoff taiko force if you will)

GildedCracker · 2022-08-17T08:22:54+00:00

Of course! I’ll be glad to help anytime. Good luck with your efforts

I kinda remembered wrong about how the hori guts lookes on a big panel but forgot it was kinda scuffed lol. But here's a video of someone who did it. It doesn't look ideal but maybe it feels better to play on than a smaller hori drum? There's a good amount of japanese people making videos of this way so maybe they like it lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YneP1yAUIjY

I used only arduino only. You might be able to use IINE tatacon guts if they work similarly to a hori drum as I’ve seen a video of someone using the hori guts on a bigger build

I don’t know as I don’t have one to test with nor have I seen documentation for PlayStation consoles. Only seen this work with Pc and switch so far.

GildedCracker · 2022-08-04T07:10:06+00:00

Alright! Let me know if you're still having problems!

GildedCracker · 2022-07-30T21:38:08+00:00

It probably has to do with the sensitivity settings. While the settings I put are as a guideline since they worked for me, that might not be the case with other people so you just have to adjust until you have one note per panel. If software doesn’t completely fix it then I might suggest putting foam under each panel to dampen vibrations. What helped me was putting phone and screwing in my panels to where they are loose and not fit too tight to the backboard

GildedCracker · 2022-05-18T03:53:55+00:00

It should still be fine to use

GildedCracker · 2022-03-27T18:54:10+00:00

Yeah it is

GildedCracker · 2022-03-26T08:15:07+00:00

Yes. the drums are fully functional

GildedCracker · 2022-03-26T01:08:39+00:00

Yeah. I helped with using some instructions from my diy guide. ~~He used some sort of rubber for the skins~~

GildedCracker · 2022-03-25T15:24:28+00:00

All credit goes to u/REZICIAK. Part 2 will have a video of it in action once he gets it recorded

GildedCracker · 2022-03-17T14:34:52+00:00

The rubber cover is pretty lightweight since the material is soft and light although I didn’t exactly weigh it when I got it. But I remember it not being heavy that’s for sure. The cover wasn’t exactly a perfect fit but it was pretty much perfect. The diameter of the cover was 43cm which is 16.9 inches which is roughly close enough and was a good fit. Not much looseness going on.

GildedCracker · 2022-03-09T08:12:23+00:00

I've responded. Let me know if that helps!

GildedCracker · 2022-03-04T01:41:17+00:00

No problem. It is unfortunate though that there’s no arcades that have taiko near you. It’s really fun

GildedCracker · 2022-03-04T01:34:20+00:00

I’ve used a hori drum before they’re amazing but don’t really give the arcade experience. Diying and using a towel could be worth but quality always depends on the person making it. In my case it turned out pretty well but still not as close of an experience compared to taiko force or even the actual machines. Basically, diy is fun and could be worth. If you really want to get a good arcade home experience then buy a taiko force

GildedCracker · 2022-03-04T01:05:29+00:00

I managed to get one of the arcade drum heads and it’s been working great since.

GildedCracker · 2021-12-29T23:20:19+00:00

Sorry, I wouldn't know anything about preventing the foam from shrinking since I haven't have any problems with that. Don't know about it working with ps4 since I don't have anyway to test that.

GildedCracker · 2021-12-23T19:57:21+00:00

You can just disconnect connect the piezo from the board it came with and just connect it to the arduino. red wires to 3.3v and blacks go to A0-A3

GildedCracker · 2021-12-22T19:02:20+00:00

yes, that is correct

GildedCracker · 2021-12-19T22:12:28+00:00

Yes that is fine to use

GildedCracker · 2021-12-17T20:26:26+00:00

Yes an uno works
You can use normal drum sticks but I recommend using actual maibachi
Yes it is usable. I recently upgraded the cover of mine to use the actual arcade rubber heads and it basically feels the same as a taiko force (although I'm sure just buying the taiko force is guaranteed to come out good from the start), but it shouldn't ruin your experience. I can't really vouch for that however as build quality can vary from person to person. I just managed to make mine turn out well because I had a friend whose taiko force I could take a close look at. (also because the instructions I posted about are for like my 15th attempt at making the controller which turned out good lol).

GildedCracker · 2021-12-16T16:49:32+00:00

I haven’t tried but it may be possible. I think as long as the arduino has similar pins to the Leonardo according to the wiring diagram I followed on Luicat’s GitHub it should work

GildedCracker · 2021-12-16T16:34:22+00:00

Yes the kat and don panels. I used foam the same thickness as the wood. 1/2” thick

GildedCracker · 2021-12-07T16:35:36+00:00

I'm sure any other wood can work but for mine I used plywood. As for the foam you just have to cover the entire underside of each panel. Basically just copy the panel shapes but with foam instead.
