Quick button wiring question
« on: December 13, 2005, 06:13:04 pm »
Can I Connect 2 buttons to the same key mapping.  For example wire the ipac to a Barrier strip and then pull two wires off the barrier stip to 2 seperate buttons and then just use a common ground all around.  So when I hit either button it would register a left shift for example?

Exactly what I want to use it for.  Pinball.   My mini-pac only has 16 buttons total so I have to conserve.  Thanks for the response guys.
