Question about wiring controls
« on: March 13, 2018, 07:44:50 pm »
Hello fellas and gals,
Just have a quick question. I am finally getting to the control part of my arcade. My panel doesn't have enough room for a player 1-2 button and buttons to add quarters. This means I will have to add buttons underneath the panel above the original coin slot. Unfortunately the wiring I have for the USB thingy to the buttons will more than likely be too short. I think the USB board is a xin-mo tho I am not 100% sure. Can I just cut a cord in half and put regular cord in between to extend it? Sorry, I know I am a noob at any wiring but I need a bit of help.
Thanks

Yes
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.
