I have thought about maybe getting a key-wiz....but basiclly a friend was going to trash a spare keyboard...and i asked could i have it....and i need to add three keys to my cab...the keyboard was free. soooooo why not... |

Ok, rereading your post a keyboard hack makes sense because you only want a handful of command buttons. Sorry about my confusion :dizzy: |

Keyboard hacks are awesome if you only need a few inputs. My Galaxian conversion uses one. http://www.pealefamily.net/tech/arcade/?cat=5 One of these days I'm going to take pictures of the insides of the beastie. |

I did a keyboard hack on mine...of course, I'm lazy, but I'm also cheap...cheapness won out over laziness ;D Other than purchasing some wire and spade connectors (which I would have needed even if I bought an encoder), it cost almost nothing. I only paid $1 for the keyboard at a local surplus store. |

Hey everybody, hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend.... I am 95 % done with the keyboard hack, only thing left is to hook up the pushbuttons.... I went yesterday and bought some small pushbuttons from Radio Shack...But my dumba&& got the wrong ones...( i bought closed instead of open switches....Arrrrgh), I'm going back today and swap em for the open switches.... Feeling kinda good that I did ok with my first time soldering....It looks like shizzzznet...but I didnt cross contacts!!!! I basiclly made it where I have 3 buttons....big pushbutton for pause, two small ones for Tab & F2... If the attachments here ever get back working...I'll post pics... |
