I-PAC Inquiry.

Alpha17X:
After being reffered to Ultimarc, for the Aim-Trak yesterday, I took a deeper look at their site.  I had heard of them before but never given it much thought because I wasn't much into building to the extent others often are.  I like to make the cabinets but I like to use mostly modular components that sort of 'plug and play' as much as possible for the electronics.

Anyway, the I-Pac caught my eye, something I assume, due to knowing, that a lot of you have been using for years and I was curious about it's usage.  

I understand for the most part what it is, but is it as simple as it appears?  From what I gather for example. if I want to wire movement for Player 1, I would quite litterally wire the appropriate switches to  '1up 1down 1left 1 right' followed by connecting the grounds for all buttons in a chain to a singlular ground for player 1 on the I-Pac?

Forgive me if I stated the obvious there I'm just so used to seeing thigns that need to be soddered and routered that it stuns my mind for there to be something so simple out there.

*edit: Spelling correction*
Malenko:
its VERY simple and clearly labeled. Just run the wires to the buttons and call it a day

If that's the case I need to hit myself in the head for not looking at it sooner.  Like I said, I had heard of it, but when I did people were still talking about soddering things together with technical lingo so thick I thought they might all be people from Star Trek on shore leave from the enterprise.

There is both a screw terminal version of the iPAC and a 0.1in header pin version depending on what you think will be best.
Personally, I'd pick the screw terminal version.
