I don't have a multi-meter and I don't have time or money to buy one right now and I am not sure how to work one anyways. I have to try to start wiring this tomorrow because it is due Monday. I have wired a PSX controller before to make an arcade joystick before but there was much more documentation and walkthroughs to help me out. I guess I was assuming this would be exactly the same as that where as I daisy chained all common points on switches to one ground point on PCB board. I have been trying to follow the traces around the buttons but am still clueless as to where the common point would be. I uploaded a much clearer picture here http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/5796/dsc0003iyk.jpg Does anyone have any good guess as to what I should do? Otherwise I am just going to try to solder to random spots tomorrow and cross my fingers I guess;) Thanks for all the help so far. |

If the stick has 1 button then the traces show a common ground between the 4 joystick positions and the single button. If you look at the 3 contacts bottom for your joystick in the pic you can see the trace that connects all 3 it also goes up and connects the button and the other contact. This is the common. |

Maybe this will help. |

Thanks for the info! I feel a lot less lost now. One more question, should I wire the 'NO' wires to each point you numbered yellow on the pic or to the actual contact switch itself or does it matter? Much appreciated for the visual aid. |
