| Keyboard encoder for a Jukebox and power source for lit buttons |
| (1/2) > >> |
| MPTech:
Can anyone recommend a simple encoder for a Jukebox that will only use about 20 buttons total? (no joysticks, trackballs, or spinners) just something simple. (I don't want to do the keyboard hack unless there is a simpler version) I know they will all work, but I don't need the top of the line here. Also, what can I use for a power source for lit buttons that require 14v? http://www.happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/5400044x.htm]http://www.happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/710004tx.htm[/url and [url]http://www.happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/5400044x.htm I believe the PC fan plugs are only 5v (correct?) |

Funny that you have posted this as I was about to ask the same question. My order of the Happs Low Profile Buttons arrived a couple of days ago but I have not yet figured out a solution for the 14v bulbs. I orderd a mixture of the following: http://www.happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/710004tx.htm http://www.happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/5700044x.htm http://www.happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/5700045x.htm Which jukebox software are you using?. |

An I-PAC 2 would do this, or a Mini-PAC with button harness if you want to save time with the wiring. There are many other alternatives. You could probably use 12 volts for the lamps. Just connect into a spare PC disk power connector. The yellow wire is 12 volts, black Ground. Andy |

The 161 bulbs will work fine at 12V. They are mainly used in auto industry, where voltages range from 11-14 Volts. I wouldn't spend any time, money, or thought on running these at 14V rather than 12V. I think that the mini-pac may be on sale right now, too... There was a thread that Andy posted somewhere stating this recently. Rick |

The Mini-Pac sale is what triggered me to post this topic. BUMMER! I just ordered the Mini-Pac & Mounting feet and when I went to checkout, I was charged $14 for DHL shipping (and given no alternatives!) I'm not in a hurry it can take a week or 2. $14! C'mon. There's a dropdown selection for shipping and a "change shipping" button, but no options. What gives!?!?!?! |
