Title: Ultimarc Ultimate I/O wiring fun!
Post by: skmastaz on September 22, 2016, 11:47:58 am

So I've been hunting the forums for awhile to see if I can find this information but I've had no luck. I'm planning a new arcade cabinet and I'm going to start work on the control panel soon. I've already got my Ultimarc Ultimate I/O and I'm going to use RGB Electric ICE buttons from GGG with LEDBlinky and the RGB joysticks from Paradise (I hope the colors are at least very similar between the buttons and joystick!). I've got to the wiring plan portion of the project and I LOVE the wiring harness that comes with the ultimate for button presses, but for wiring all the LEDs there isn't anything in the harness kit. So the big question is where can I get the 4 pin connectors to put on the end of my joystick and button RGBs. I think I've hunted down that they would be .100 molex connectors, but I really want to be sure before I order them.

Anyone have a source for these? And do I need a special crimper to connect them?

Thanks a lot for any help! I just finished my pinball cabinet and I'm getting excited to start my next project! So far this community seems pretty awesome and I look forward to sharing my progress as I go.

There is different ways to do that. I'm really not an expert but I choose to use 4 pins DuPont connector. Check my thread, I show the connectors and the tools http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,132082.msg1546302.html#msg1546302 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,132082.msg1546302.html#msg1546302)

We supply pre-crimped wires and connector housings in packs of 3 housings/9 wires if you need.

yes 0.1 header pin connectors work perfect

Get yourself some of these bad boys and start sleeving and soldering :)

Don't your leds already come with the wiring? Mine did. Maybe it was an option I opted for.

Whoops, missed all these great replies somehow! That is pretty much exactly what I was looking for Scotty_C! Also that soldering setup is awesome. I'll have to get some of those and begin my endless soldering adventure.

 My buttons do come with the wires, but not the quick connect ends to attach to the Ultimate I/O.

Thanks again for all the help guys!
