thanks for the picture. those pads look like a cheap way to wire up your controls.. not the easiest or even the cleanest but certanly a cost effective one.. at their price you could just mount them under your control panel if you have one your swap. cost per input with these: 46 cents keywiz eco: 65 ipac4: 1.25 |

Found these on ePay: http://tinyurl.com/lboc27 I think they are the exact same thingas the DX ones above. Buying 6 at a time w/free shipping brings the price down too $4.50 a piece. Not to shabby. Maybe I'll order some and see if the innards are the same, if there is any interest. :dunno |

hmm 4.50 each with free shipping.. not bad, kinda sucks you gotta buy 6 of them though.. but if you got several projects these would be a cheap way to go. btw their description is wrong "12 Fire Button 4 Axis " it would be 2 axis 10 button. (left/right is one axis + -, same for up/down) i recently bought a pair off ebay, a little more then the ones you found but can get 2 instead of 6, (2 for 10) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370227266989 these was SUPER easy to hack, and will be using them again. they look very similar to the ones GGG is carrying now. |

I like those too. Just .45c more each and you only get 2. Nice find. :applaud: |

--- Quote from: wachin on July 09, 2009, 11:39:07 pm ---Like its been mentioned before, the D-pad is matrixed, so when you look at the leads, the Left & Right are the same. This is also the case with the Up & Down. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess the thinking here from the manufacturer is that it's impossible to press both Left & Right simultaneously. Same for Up & Down. So they're actually the same but the uncommon ground differentiates the two (or something along those lines?) Anyway, the attached photo shows where I soldered my 2 grounds and the directional buttons. --- End quote --- Did you just remove these 2 little boards then? And I forgot to ask, what do you use to remove the ??lacquer?? from the solder points? Cant you just lightly sand them to insure a good joint? |
