Wiring P360 and T-Stick to 1st player controls? ...and *easy* P360 question.

<< < (2/2)

Bgnome:
if the p360 is daisy chained to the NO on the t-stick, it should be electrically the same as running a wire from each to the i-pac.  i am wondering why you grounded the p360 to the optipac..  maybe that could cause the problem?

and forgive me if im stating something too obvious, but if you are looking at the microswitches from the bottom view, is the one on the bottom for up, the one on the top for down, while left is still left and right is still right?

bdsjake:
just a thought, but you do have 5v and ground connect to the 360?

EDIT:  oops, I just reread that the 360 works if you unhook the t stick. If that's the case, maybe the tstick has a short somewhere.  If you can't track it down, then I would do as I suggested above, connect 360 directly to the ipac (so you have 2 wires each going to up/down/left/right on ipac, one each from tstick and 360).

Well, since the P360 requires a +5v and a GND I figured I might as well just use both of them on the Opti-Pac instead of using the Opti-Pac *only* for the +5v and then wiring the GND to the I-PAC.

As for the microswitches, I do have them wired correctly (the "up" microswitch is at the bottom when looking at the bottom of the joystick [eg. all positions are reversed when looking at it from the bottom]).

I'll try moving the GND connection to the I-PAC later tonight, but until then, does anybody have any other suggestions for me?

I've fixed my problem in case anybody is wondering...

On the T-Stick Plus, the COM and NO connections are *NOT* next to each other like they are on Happ's microswitches.  They aren't labeled on the bottom of the T-Stick either so that's why I wasn't able to figure it out.

Hope that might be useful to anybody else who might have the same problem as me.
