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.

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.



Beretta:

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?
