| Question about pushbuttons |
| (1/1) |

Hello, I'm building an mame cabinet, and for the pushbuttons, I bought them online and they look like this: I'm having trouble figuring out how to connect them do the i-pac. This kind of microswitch doesn't have/need ground wire right? And where do I connect the switch wire? Thanks in advance. |

Welcome aboard, Echohead. For buttons/switches with two contacts, connect one (Common or Com) to the daisy-chain ground and the other (Normally Open or NO) to the encoder input. It doesn't make a difference which contact is which -- press the button and the terminals make contact, release the button and the terminals lose contact. For buttons with three contacts, there is also a Normally Closed (NC) that is usually not used. Scott |
