I'm planning on starting my first Arcade control by converting a Logitech PC controller. I'll try and keep my questions to this thread as I'm sure more will arise the further I go into it. I've checked out the site and done a fair bit of research too. First newbie question... What size spade bit would I use for 30mm nutted Sanwa buttons? Is the 30mm an overall diameter or the size hole I need? I'd just measure it, but I'm waiting on buttons to turn up first and want to get the spade bits on the way too. |

You'll need 30mm holes. |

Thank you! |

Newbie question number two! I've got my controller's PCB (Logitech USB PC controller) plugged in and I'm testing buttons with a multimeter. I'm getting a reading but it doesn't seem to be activating as a button press. I'm using Project64's button mapping to check. Should it be recognising or should I not be using a multimeter to press the buttons? |

I never tried it, but I don't think a multimeter's voltage read setting will activate a button press. Since button presses are human control and on as long as a human holds down the button, you can use a normal wire to activate the button press. Just be careful. (And use an insulated wire, not a bare one. Just a little bit of insulation shaved off of the ends.) If you want to use the multimeter (for use of the leads/ease of contacting the right spots), put it in the amp measuring setting and try it again. This SHOULD work. |
