So to reset fully:
I would like to have 38 buttons and 5 arcade sticks which illuminate (based on if the game uses them with LEDBlinky if not super expensive.).
I assume that means each button needs to be wired separately. My confusion is how to wire them up and what things I need to buy.
What do I need to do to wire them for actual control? IE: I-Pac, PacLED, etc. I don’t know which. Instructions on how to get them to work is also needed. I have never done this before.
Separately, but related, how do I wire up the LED button to emit color? I would like this part to be able to work with LED blinky so when I play X game, only the buttons used by X game will be illuminated. I’m not sure from a power or control perspective if this is possible, how much extra work/cost it is. If it is too much work/cost I’m okay with just making sure the buttons are lit all the time when the machine is on.
Basically, if I want to buy a button and a stick to test illumination and controls for what I’m going to try and do, what should I buy, and how do I hook it up so I can add the rest of the 4 sticks and 37 buttons once I’m comfortable and have the CP cut out and ready to be wired?
Does that make sense?
