Suzo Inductive - how to connect?
Level42:
Oh and don't get the +5V from the J-pac. Wire it directly to the PC power supply molex.
LarsDK:
All right, thanks. I'll try that.
Can the stick work without the 5volts?
Is it the yellow wire that carries the 5v from the PSU molex?
Level42:
No the joystick will not work without the +5 volt. because it is an electronic stick. The electronics inside the stick need power supply, which the 5 volt is.
NO the yellow wire is the +12 V !!!!!! DO NOT USE THAT, use the red one instead !!! The red is +5V. If you use the yellow wire you will almost certainly destroy the electronics inside the stick.
Here's some more info about the PC molex connector:

So, connect the +5 V to the RED wire, and the GND (I think it's indicated by a ground symbol on the stick like this: ) to one of the BLACK wires. Don't connect the yellow to anything.
Since you are using a J-pac (like I do) you probably already have wires that went to each microswitch on the joystick. Usualy there is a black one that runs from one microswitch to the other (daisy chaining). That one is not needed anymore. The others, each should have a different color, should be connected to A,B,C,D. You must figure out yourself which direction is what, but that's easily tested with the old joystick, or by shorting the connectors to one of the black wires. On the Inductive, there are indications saying what A,B,C and D are. This makes it flexible to mount, you can mount it in any direction you like.
Hope all is clear now, if not let me know.
Also, do a search on "suzo inductive" here and you will find a number of threads that have interesting reading stuff for you.

Hello, I'm back after having some computer problems. :)
I tried to get the wires into the red connector.
I tried with thin, medium and thicker wires.
The thin ones just wouldn't stick, even when I stripped them and folded the to make them thicker.
Pretty much the same with medium ones.
And with the thick ones (I used the wires that came with the wiring kit from Ultimarc), I managed to destroy the red connector. :(
So now I'm pretty much screwed.
What I need now is a new connector + plus that special tool that is required. Or even better: a connector that is pre-wired for newbies like myself. :x
I bought the Suzo stick from someone here a while ago.
I can't recall who it was or what his email was/is, as I've lost my old email account.
Can anyone/any company pre-wire this stick (I'll even buy a totally new stick, as I might damage one of them anyway. Doesn't hurt to have an extra.) - and sell it to me per mail?
Level42:
Hey I've got spare connectors (because I don't use them myself). Personaly, instead of using the red connectors that come with the stick, I use the white connectors with seperate terminals. These are much more relialbe, but also require a special tool.
I've got the connectors and the tool is in the workplace of my employer. I don't regularly come there but I happen to be there on friday. I'll make you a pre-wired connector if you like.
What connectors will you use on the other side ? Since you are using a J-Pac, I take it that you have a JAMMA wire loom there ?
Do you only have 1 stick ?
