jammaboards 6in1 switch board.
rusolinio:
Many thanks for your method Jim! Most appreciated!
A pic would be nice however, as i have never installed relays of this kind before. I'll have to obviously remove my pcb's to do this mod, so i'll take some pics when i do so.
I humbly await your mighty picture!

I can't take pictures of my switcher,but I drew a simple wiring diagram for you.
It shows 1 hookup,so just repeat for others,each with it's own relay.
When you solder to edge connector keep connection close to board so harness will go on.
Also for edge connector connections solder 1 wire to the connector and splice other wires to it.
I couldn't remember which pins were the N/O & N/C,but it is on the relay package,if you get the ones I linked in a previous post.
You will only use one set of N/O,N/C & COMM pins,but both COIL pins.
Mount relays on bread board,they just push on and you solder wire on opposite side.
I will post a picture of relays mounted so you can see what it looks like,it shows 1 relay because it belongs to Neverenough from KLOV who helped me.
Sorry I made a mistake on drawing, so I revised it. The +12v wire should go from the +12v pin on the desired slot(not the +12v pin on edge connector) to a coil pin on relay. I posted a revised drawing.

What a guy! :notworthy:
Thanks for taking the time to draw that up Jim. Its is more appreciated than i could ever tell you. Once i get my hands on those relays, ill get some pics up of my completed switch board.
Maybe worth submitting that pic to jammaboards so they can include the relays in the 6in1 kit for those who wish to use games that require -5v.
Thanks again Jim!

With a little direction from jimkirk (not to mention his very easy to follow diagram above) i have completed my switch board.
In the pic there are three relays on the breadboard (mounted via a long stickypad) with only one hooked up for now. I have not yet had a chance to try the switchboard in my cab, but will do so some time tonight.

Well, i can totally verify that this mod works 100%!!!!
In the pic ive just plugged in one ki2 board into slot 3 (slot 3, 4 and 5 have the -5v), but ive tried both ki1 and ki2 together and it works beautifully.
Once again, i thank you jimkirk!
