Up Sticking on I Pac
« on: February 01, 2004, 02:49:08 pm »
Hi wired up my cocktail cabinet yesterday and having great fun with it however occasionally

the up is sticking re did all the wiring to try and find out why has not solved it also seems odd as its a three controller cocktail so two seperate joysticks do up and both are affected

any ideas seems odd to me or is this a glitch with the ipac and windows xp + game launcher

Do you have one of the wires to the up switches connected to the NC tab(normally closed) on the microswitch?

I used to have this problem and I found that the actuator arms on the microswitches would keep the microswitch in an active state.  I have bent all the arms so there is a clear gap between the joystick and the arms when joystick is in central position.
