If you want an actual button just use an extra control panel button. You want something that doesn't stay "on" constantly, just a quick little "on" signal. Hook either wire from the PC button to the ground terminal on your button and the other one to NOF (normally off). --- Quote from: janey on June 24, 2006, 02:50:50 pm ---Yes it's a Mame machine and i do have a power strip, and yes i open the front panel where the power button locaed , but i'm not sure what kind of button i can hook it up to , to power it on in front of arcade , So u say any regular arcade button will work ??? i have a few extra but what wire goes where ?? on button ??? thanks all for helping PS i did a serach and not much came for this issue ... --- End quote --- |

By doing this, I don't have to physically turn on/off any computers. I use a central power strip. It's not the most elegant solution, but it keeps me from having to open the machines. |

NC is normally closed. :cheers: |
