keywiz help needed - RESOLVED...thanks RandyT

--- Quote from: severdhed on December 01, 2010, 12:23:47 am ---so i think i am going to try this grounding method you mentioned, but with only one button.  if i understand this correctly, in order for this to work, the exit button would have to be the first switch in the ground chain, correct?  i'd have a single wire from the keywiz ground to the com terminal, then go from the NC terminal to the com terminal on my second switch, and then just continue to jump from com terminal to com terminal on all the remaining switches...correct?  so as soon as i'd press that button to pause the game, it would render all of the other controls inactive as long as it was pressed...correct?

That sounds correct.

severdhed:
Thanks RandyT...i stopped last night because it was getting late, i will try this method out this evening when i get home from work with the pause/exit button and report back.

severdhed:
well, i took your advice RandyT... i wired up the exit/pause button as a shazaam combo button and wired the grounds as you suggested....it seems to be doing the trick.  while that button is held down, it disconnects the grounds from all of the other inputs, rendering them inactive.  this should completely , eliminate any random shifted commands or reprogramming. 

my two sons are over there pounding away on the panel as we speak playing Primal Rage, it has been about 10 minutes and so far, everything is still working as it should.

Thank you so much RandyT, it is customer service like this that makes me want to recommend your products to everyone.  THis is why I love this hobby...where else can you buy a product and get support from the person responsible for it's existence.  the keywiz is a great product, and there is a great company backing it up, i couldn't be happier with my purchase.  (i love my optiwiz too)

for anyone out there building a 4 player panel, dont be afraid to use a keywiz.  with just a few extra shazaam adapters, it has more than enough inputs for most 4 player setups.

RandyT:

You are very welcome, and I am happy to hear that you have the 4 player configuration working to your satisfaction.  Thanks for the kind words!

RandyT
