wacky wico 4 way
<< < (2/3) > >>
KonkeyKong:
but it does allow me to hit two switches at once, triggering diagonal movements. how do I fix this?
rescue161:
OH, then I have no idea without seeing it actually move.

Sorry, I missunderstood.
leapinlew:
That looks different than my Wico 4ways. Mine doesn't have those white plastic pieces, and your contacts look closer together than mine. How sensitive is the joystick? How far do you have to push a direction before it engages?

It looks to me that the contacts need to be separated a little bit. I'll take a look at mine and let you know, but thats what it looks like to me.

Yes, they are really close.  Make sure none of them are touching (closing the circuit) while joystick is in rest position.
Kremmit:
The white pieces on the switches are supposed to be there.  The diamond shaped hole is correct, as is the smaller actuator.  You're in good shape, all you need to do is adjust your leafswitches. 

Very gently, with your fingers or a set of needlenose pliers, bend the outter leaves away from the hole.  Bend them gently, a little bit at a time.  They should all end up the same distance from the hole, just far enough that you can't quite close two switches at once.  (You can adjust them further if you want your stick to be a little less sensitive, but start there.)
