I ATTEMPTED to do one of these as my first hack ever and it was a chore. I didnt know that the grounds were different for several of the inputs so I had quite a mess. I highly reccomend a game pad that GGG sells... or a cheapo one from Deal Extreme if you can wait 2 weeks. There are pics/instructions around here. The GGG one is a single ground for all inputs. very nice. joe --- End quote --- The Logitech pad is fairly easy if you know your stuff, I traced the buttons to there easier to solder counterparts and some of the buttons DO share a common ground. Alot of it is following traces. |

you can tap usb for 5v |

Ahh I should have thought of that. I need a way to power the coin door lights as well...... |
| Beretta:
can draw about 500ma ( or 1/2 amp) from usb, i dunno if that would be enough for everything. if you switch the coin door lights over to LED you should be ok. otherwise im not sure. |

Would they blow if I ran them off outlet power alongside my marquee light? |
