Title: Sanwa harness pinout
Post by: Goz on May 19, 2005, 12:54:39 am
I'm about to wire a couple of SANWA joys and was curious if anyone could tell me what the pinout is for the PC board on the joy. There are 5 pins so it makes sense that one pin is ground and the remaining 4 are up, down, left, and right but there are just enough possible combo's to make me want to have a beer and once that happens this panel will not get wired. Since i dont have the original harness it wont help to use color as a referrence.

Thanks,

Ground will almost certainly be the far left, or far right pin. Should take about 20 seconds to figure out with a multimeter (or you can just look at the traces), sorry I can't be more helpful, but I am at work right now and don't have access to my candy cab at the moment.

Paige,

 Thanks and I figured ground would be either position. I was hoping to get the full pin orientation from someone however as I'd like to the make the harness without needing to try each wire individually prior. If I could make the harness while I'm at work (when I have more spare time) as opposed to running through each wire with the wife insesently nagging in the background things would go far more smoothly.  ;D

Thanks,

There's a more detailed thread about this somewhere... couple weeks old...

I just searched again and I think I found the post you are referring to:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,36561.0.html

And here is the answer:

 With the pins facing towards you starting from left:

ground
down
up
right
left

I'll hope that the guy who posted this info with just 1 post to his name was right. Unless anyone can confirm it's something different.
