| Jawn:
Thanks for all the advice guys, it looks like network cables are the winner for now. |
| Pitman:
Ok... Just for testing I plugged the i-pac into my comp, striped a strand of cat5e cable at both ends then screwed down on the ps/2 i-pac one end to 'Start' and the other to a button. I then opened notepad and pressing the button didn't register any 1's e.g. 1111111111 Maybe it's not regeresting because I am also using a usb keyboard |
| BobA:
Did you attach a ground to your button? When you say strand I assume one wire. |
| Pitman:
I didn't actually connect the ground (I take it that it's a dealbreaker?) I just attached one strand to the ipac and one to the pushbuttons switch (tried both metal prongs on the switch also) |
| BobA:
If you do not have a ground your switch cannot complete the circuit and it will not work. |
