Title: One Button to Generate Multiple Keys
Post by: web.geek on September 18, 2008, 07:29:58 pm

I am in the design phase of my next arcade cab, and I want to include DWJukebox. I would like to have buttons on the bezel that line up with the buttons on the skin (e.g. A1, B3, etc.). Is it possible to program a single button to generate A+1 or B+3 so users can press just the single button to select a track?

Thanks!

Right now this isn't possible; it's a good idea to add though.

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll also look into some type of workaround. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I just tested this with a keywiz and it seemed to work fine with A and 1 hooked to the same button.

I just noticed then when i pushed 1 then a it worked same as A then 1 so it doesnt matter if A or 1 is triggered first when using a keywiz or any keyboard encoder

Hopefully thats some handy info for u ;)

So are you saying to run two wires from the button/microswitch: one to the A key and one to the 1 key on the encoder? That would be sweet, thanks!

Yup, that's what he's saying.

yep as kevin said you can have a wire for A and a wire for 1 and  ground wire and it will work.

so you can have a1 a2 a3 a4 b1 b2 b3 --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- etc etc and it will work without any problems :)
