Backwards wiring
mpm32:
Twice I did it backwards. :P Last night after finishing my wiring, fired up a game of Dig Dug. Pushed up went down, pushed down went up, pushed left...you get the idea.
Oh by the way thanks for this board and all who've helped me out with my questions. Cabs almost done.
SNAAAKE:
well everyone wires the joystick backward first time..i only did once.. :P
It wasn't funny at all... :-[. ---gosh-darn--- it I wanted to play ASAP ! :D
Then had to rewire the joystick.
SirPoonga:
Wire them backwards? As in switching NO with NC?
Or do you mean directions? If that then no, I haven't, I label my stuff first :)

Once, on the first CP I built, but with the second joystick I wired. Amazing that the first joy I wired had it correct, but the second didn't. Go figure.

1. First attempt I did 1 button and the joystick. the button was clearly labeled NO/NC, plus it only had the NO terminal. when i did the joystick it had all 3 terminals so I used the same 2 as for the button. Wrong.. mustve been different brand of switch or something <edit> oh yeah, AND I had up=down, left=right switched
2. WHen I completely rewired my ipac, I ran the ground loop from my CP into the +5v.. No damage but nothing worked
