Question about pushbuttons
Pages: (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.
