| switching out joys to p360 |
| (1/1) |
| deadmoney5:
I have a SlikStik Classic with Competitions for the 1 and 2 player joystick. I want to swap the 1 player out and install a P360. The problem is that the competition (and all other joys) use the COM and NC for each microswitch, while the P360 just uses the direction wires and 1 ground (along with the 5v). Since the competitions have been daisy-chained together with other buttons and such, will I break the "chain" if I just leave the unused connectors unconnected? Or do I have to somehow connect all of the wires (which I won't be using anyore) back together from the old competition? |

You should be just fine leaving them disconnected. They are chained through the common wire, not through the switches the wire connects to. Think of it as a pearl neclace. You have the pearls on a chain. You take some of the pearls off, the chain still connects. It may look a little uglier, but it functions still the same. The connections on a common ground to the switches are like the pearls. The important part is the wire underneath em. :) |
