HELP !!! Ipac 2 wiring problems

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Mr.Ian:

I know that this subject has been discussed a million times before, but im pulling my hair out and really need some help, i will be grateful for anything !!

ok, so i have plugged my Ipac from the PC socket (PC) to the PC using a keyboard cable, im not using USB (Maybe this may solve the problem), and the Green light on the board shines solidly

Now, im just testing the set up at the moment, and have wired up a complete board with buttons and a joystick and nothing worked so i started again just with one button

so please correct me if im wrong, i ran a wire from the Ground to the microswitch, and a wire from 1player coin to the same microswitch, opened Word, hit the button and nothing. then i just ran a wire from Ground to any of the buttons....still nothing


What am i doing wrong ?? Hopefully it is an easy fix, and any help will be fantastic



Thanks in advance


Ian



Ginsu Victim:

Are you attaching them to correct places on the microswitch?

Mr.Ian:

Yeah, my microswitches only have 2 terminals, and i have tried them both ways with the same result

Im thinking that the PC is not picking up the IPAC due to being run via Keyboard connection, and have ordered a USB - PS2 converter and hopefully this may fix the problem.

Im running windows XP

But it should work fine as a keyboard on any PC that has a PS/2 connection, so I doubt it's that.

Mr.Ian:

Could it be something to do with my logitec wireless keyboard and mouse?

I will try unplugging everything when i get home
