Keyboard encoders
equlizer:
Picked up 3 locally from "Foundmy" and ready for the KADE software :) I just need terminal blocks now :) In the flip software they are known as "Atmega32u2"
Flashed with the latest 1.5 and just testing it. have one button hooked up on the left side 2 from the bottom. In one mode i get a spacebar and the 2nd mode i get the letter "Z" which does not conclude with the chart posted by degenatrons. Could i just hook up all the buttons, go into notepad and write down what they are then change them in mame?
PL1:
It's probably in a different Group or Mode than you want.
Check the Full Key Mapping table here.
When you plug the encoder in, you should get 1-7 blue flashes followed by 1-6 red flashes. (Watch closely -- they go pretty fast.)
Blue = Group
Red = Mode
If it flashes 1 blue and 5 red, you are in Group A, Mode 5 = Pinball.
Press and hold HWB for >3 seconds to go to the next Group.
Press HWB for <3 seconds to go to the next Mode.
If the flashes show you are in the desired Group and Mode, the other possibility is that you are looking at one of the older terminal numbering maps. The correct one is 2/3rds of the way down the page here on the resource page.
Check e-bay or your favorite electronics supplier for "2.54mm/0.1" Screw Terminal".

We have various products which are ideal for one key but the most compact is the U-HID nano (www.u-hid.com).
Also USBButton (www.usbbutton.com) which is a complete solution with a pushbutton.
Of course our I-PAC board would do this as well but is more than required for one key. All these products store the configuration on the device permanently.

Does this mean that you can program the device for any key? So if I assign one button, say for load game, it will be the same at each bootup?
