Leaf Switch Button on an IPAC ???????????

Pages: (1/1)

Hello,

I am trying to hook up a leaf switch button to work on my Ipac 4. One wire goes to the "input" and one to the "ground". I get nothing at all. I reversed the wires, still nothing.

Does and Ipac only work with microswitches or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Craig

It should work.  I pretty much use nothing *but* leaf spring buttons/joys in my cabs.  Do you have access to a multimeter?

I would first make sure that your crimp or solder is ok by testing between the tab to the wire you've connected.  Another thing you might want to do is use the IPAC utility to see if keypresses (joystick button presses etc) register.
