Guncon 2 solder points

[gman314]

I am soldering a Guncon 2 for use with my AimTrak.  I already soldered the trigger to the proper point (along with the ground).  My question is:  For my aux button, if I solder the down directional button to its proper solder point (I believe it is labeled R16), do I also have to solder an additional ground wire to some other point?  If so, then where would I solder it to?

Every sensor requires it's own ground. You can share a ground with either of the two default buttons.

Actually, this isn't true.  All of the buttons on the Guncon 2's have a common ground already.  There is no need to solder any more ground wires with the exception of 1. 

On my Guncon's I have all inputs working.  Check out in regards to wiring up all the additional inputs.

I have the following soldered into my AimTrak using the wiring harness and also inputs P1-P5

Trigger - from Wiring Harness
Aux - bottom button - From Wiring Harness
D-Pad Up
D-Pad Down
D-Pad Left
D-Pad Right
and wired both of the side buttons to act as 1 button.

While this may be true with the NAMCO Guncon2 it doesn't hold true for all guns. Unfortunately the term Guncon2 is used generically and some guns do indeed need a ground added to the switch/switches. Mind happens to be one of them. Without pictures from the OP to confirm exactly what gun he's using we don't know exactly what he needs heh

and you used a common ground for all of the above signals on the aimtrak correct?

I have p1, reload & trigger using the same ground off the trigger's cherry switch ground/com as a common ground for all signals.

there is different make's and manufacture's of the guncons though wich some guts may differ from one to another becuase they were manufactured different place's and their is 3rd party look alike's out there also so they would more then likely differ guts wise from the official versions.

Yeah, I guess you're right... I thought the term "Guncon2" was specific to the NAMCO guns.  I've never used any of the other branded ones, so I'm not familiar with them.  However, the Official NAMCO Guncon2's have a common ground.

Yes, the only ground that I have soldered is to the same that the trigger switch and all inputs work correctly.

So, I'm assuming this means that I merely have to solder my aux wire to one of the d-pad's solder points (without having to solder an additional ground).  Correct?  And yes, it is a NAMCO Guncon2.  I also was unaware that there were non-namco Guncon 2s.  Thanks.

So, I soldered the right d-pad button to the R-19 solder point, but it is not registering in windows.  I believe, however, that this is due to the fact that I am pretty terrible at soldering.  I will make one last ditch attempt though.  This time I will try to connect the "A" button on the gun's left side.  There are two different solder points that are close to that button (One is labeled "1" and the other is labeled "2").  Does anyone know which one that I need to solder my aux wire to?  By the way, I'm assuming that no additional ground connection is necessary?  My trigger switch works fine, by the way.  I am confused though
