Keyboard controller and wires Bargain ?

<< < (3/4) > >>

BobA:
I have had no problems but others have.  I do know that there is more than one version of the Xin Mo controller as some people had different pinouts.  I don't know if these are actual Xin Mo controllers of knock offs that China is famous for.  I got mine from a known seller on this board and felt good about ordering from him.  I have ordered many other items from Paradise Arcade and have never had a problem.

jimmer:

Change of plan.  Robe_uk you might be interested in this.

degenatrons has replied to my PM, I'm getting a minimusAVR with terminal blocks and pre-programmed from him for a very good price.  :cheers:

Note: this won't unclip from the panel like KADE does, but that's not a problem for me.

I'm very happy with this as I think KADE is gonna be where it's at in future (assuming a decent price). So I know my encoder will be supported and I'll be able to re-program it at will.

You may want to put the terminals on the same side of the board as the reset and HWB buttons since putting the AVR in reprogramming mode involves:
1. Press and hold reset.
2. Press and hold HWB.
3. Release reset.
4. Release HWB.

If the terminals are on the top, you tighten the screws from the same side that you press the buttons on the AVR, resulting in full maintenance/upgrade access from one side instead of two sides.

If you choose to connect pushbuttons to the HWB and reset inputs then kindly disregard this post.

equlizer:
Never thought about that.  Good idea with putting them to buttons.  For hw button its beetween a8 and a9 and reset between b8 and b9 correct?

I find if i have the terminals on the same side they are not flush mounted.  Is that an issue if its not?
