have been messing around with it but can't figure it out. Do I need a wire from the NO and the COM from the arcade button or just 1 wire? Sorry not great at wiring. Also not sure where the pins are as there seem to be for on the button , 2 of which I guess are legs. Sorry hopeless at this sort of stuff but did manage to get all my lighting working fairly handy ;) Cheers for the reply. |

Then run 1 wire from 1 leg to the COM on a cheery switch, and 1 wire to the NO on a cherry switch. Doesnt matter which of the 2 wires goes to which part of the cherry since the button is not being daisy chained. |

Thanks thats exactly what I need to know. Thats what I started doing but then complicated it as it wasnt working for me. I will try it now. Cheers. |

working perfectly now. Thanks a million for the replies. I am moving house so trying to make the cab a bit more sturdy and tidy up the wiring. |

One astonishingly easy method of starting up your computer with a joystick button. Assuming your bios allows it, go in and set it to turn on on keypress. Have it be 'any key' save and exit, now assuming your joystick runs off of a keyboard encoder, you should litterally be able to push any button, or even just move the joystick and have your computer/cabinet turn on. That is of course, assuming your joystick is running off of a keyboard encoder and your bios allows the system to turn on from a key press. |
