Hey guys.
I used 2 DB 25 serial cables to wire up my control panel. I used one cable strictly for player 1 side, then used a second cable for the player two side. I just thought it was more uniform that way.
It works great, but I'm wondering if I could have done something better. What is the largest cable I could have used, in terms of inputs? Do they have any 50 wire cables? Another small problem I had with my serial cables was how small the wires were. They were hard to get into the encoder and the quick disconnects were a pain too, because of the smallness of the wires. So in terms of using serial cables for your wiring, what did you guys do or use?
