Happs Super - Unresponsive

(1/2) > >>

madk:
I'm having trouble with a Happs Super joy that I just mounted on my new cab.  The stick seems a bit unresponsive.  When I pull up notepad to test I log only about 2/3 of the keypresses.   It is running through an ipac through USB.

All the buttons that I've hooked up are working perfectly and everypress is registered in notepad and mame.  I can hear the switches clicking and I know I have the stick setup correctly.  I have double checked all the wiring and everything seems fine.

I am pretty much at a loss as to what could be going wrong.  On my last cab I installed 4 supers and they all worked perfectly.

Could this possibly be a USB issue?  On my last cab I didn't do usb..but unfortunately I don't have a cable to test the standard ps2 port.

Please help.

I would try swapping out the microswitches with the buttons that you know work everytime.  If they stop working, then it's probably a wiring issue.  If they do work, then you can just get some new microswitches.

I was thinking about doing this but I didn't think there was a high chance that all the switches were bad.

Maybe I'll try 1 for now and report back.  I have a bunch of extra switches.

I just ran the ipac test utility with similar results.

madk:
Okay...

Instead of outright replacing the switch I just unscrewed it from the stick.  I then  pressed in the switch as fast as I could and every single press was picked up by the software.

So it seems as if something is wrong with the way I have installed the stick.  I'm pretty sure I have it correct with the big part of the 8 way actuator pointing up.

Any suggestions?

the panel through hole is either too small or your panel is too thick thus restricting the movement of your stick
