sanwa jlf wiring
Kajoq:
Or he can just match it up to the chart I posted and not have to worry about the Multimeter =x
noobofthecentury:
Based on the pad picture I posted,
Does it look like it shares common ground?
can some1 tell me where I should solder the black cable on the gamepad pic?
just to be sure, maybe also the rest of the cables =P

See the attached picture... follow the yellow line.... you can see that there is continuous copper on the srface of the board between those pads, that is your common ground for the stick, because they're all connected by that copper on one side of each contact switch.
To solder your common ground to the board, choose any point in that yellow line where you can see copper underneath the green varnish. Very Gently, sand off some of the green varnish until you can see bright copper and solder your ground to that.

it comes with 5 wires
black, green, yellow, orange and red
I would assume black is the common ground
but which one is up , down, left or right?
Also, I am hacking a PS1 dualshock controller
does it only need 1 common ground for all the directional buttons?
thx guys

Does anyone know which color is for what on the JLF?

I don't know, but you should be able to figure it out with a cheap multimeter($15-20) that has a continuity tester. Just hook the common ground to the negative on the meter, then pick a wire color and attach it the positive. And then start moving the controller around and listen for the buzzer. Label it and move on to the next color.
