Hi.

Whats the simplest way to light a handful (Start , On/Off , Credit 1 / Credit 2 / one more) buttons.

I don't want to get a Ultrapac board for lights because its a bit of overkill for what I want. I have held off the Led buttons for now cos I didn't think I would need them but a little light might be nice.

Can I simply get a handful of http://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Splitter-Cable-Molex-Lead/dp/B000ITL4KI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372755315&sr=8-1&keywords=fan+power+cable+molex


and plug them into each other, remove the plastic things and rig up the yellow and black to each button?


Is that right or wrong? All I am looking for is for constant light for 5 buttons on turning on.  :dunno

Cheers


PL1:

Get one of those splitter cables and 2 daisy chains with 0.25" (6mm) QDs.

Follow the detailed directions here, you know, the last forum post that went up 28 minutes before you posted.    ;D  :lol

Am I meant to run a daisy chain of reds into one of the sides
and all the blacks into the other side of the Terminal Block the way I do with my buttons and joysticks into my Xin-Mo ?

I am not being funny but I don't get it.

 Can you explain it in idiot terms please. Because I don't know how the power from the fan ends up in the lights. Where do the Red and Black come from? Am I buying them or am I taking them from a power cable




PL1:

OK.  Will post a pic in a few minutes.

*starts digging in parts bin.

Chris John Hunter:

Thanks Scott. I appreciate it. I am not being funny I just think some of the fellas that know sort of skip bits the new-ish people could learn from.

I am by no means very good with wiring which is why I have avoided doing the lighting for so long  :cheers:
