key wiz eco 2 no solder wiring help

Pages: (1/3) > >>

dogg0:

I plugged a 40 pin IDE ribbon cable onto my keywiz eco 2 "no solder version". I think clipped the other end off of the IDE cable and started stripping th ends of the wires. There aer 40 VERY small wires on this ribbon, and I'm not quite sure if I am doing this right at all. The info that came with with the keywiz did not have that much on using the IDE ribbon, any info will help. Do 2 wires = 1 input on the keywiz? thanks in advance, i searched and found nothing

No. 

Here's how the 40-pin cable works;

Align the connector so the red striped cable is to the left.  The red marked wire is +5v (don't strip this one...tape it so it can't short against anything... unless you need it for something)

The next wire is the contact above the +5v.  The next one after that is the contact directly to the right of the +5v line, and so on.

There are a number of ground lines that can be used, but these are all common on that board and will be common to all of the switches, so you may uses any or all of them.

Wiring - See http://www.mameworld.net/tigerheli/encoder/eco2/eco2.htm

As Randy said - if you consider the red wire as 1 with the wires going 1,2,3,4,5,6 to the left then they go to the 40 pin connector and thus to the KeyWiz Eco connector as

2 4 6 8 . . . 40
1 3 5 7 . . . 39

Plenty - http://www.mameworld.net/tigerheli/encoder/shiftkeys.htm

But - you are thinking of the shazaaam! feature the way an I-PAC works.  Your easiest solution is to mount a separate button on the panel (or hidden) and wire it to the Shazaaam! terminal then press it and Button1 to escape rather than 1Pstart and button 1 to escape.

If you REALLY don't want an additional button on your panel, you can do it by wiring it up as I mention on the reference page under "I-PAC compatibility mode" but you will need a couple of diodes or one of RandyT's adapters.

digitap:

how do you get one w/ the IDE header attached?  I couldn't find any on their website that came this way - do you have to specify it when ordering?
