Control Panel Wiring

<< < (2/2)

Crimsons:
Peale, The cabinet is JAMMA ... but I removed the existing buttons & joystick so I have to re-wire for the new buttons & joystick. The existing wires were just soldered on.

Thanks for the tips. I guess the most confusing thing is seeing all the wires :) I guess I just need to break it down individually and have a go.

Is the ground daisy chained together to all the COMMON terminals of all the microswitches, and each wire from the JAMMA directly connects to the NO (Normally Open) ? Or am I way off ?

Thanks for all the help

CheffoJeffo:
Sounds like you are on the right track.

RE: COM/NO ... yep.

One wire at a time ... it may be tedious (I did a panel last night), but it isn't scary.

Be careful with cutting wires from the harness to length (which some people do to make wiring look pretty) before testing. I always screw up at least one pair of connections and if I had cut to length, I would be SOL.

Cheers.

Thanks

I just competed all the wiring :) Thanks very much for all the help. Before I plug the machine and give it ago, I will double check all the connections. I just wanted to find out whats the worse that would happen if i completely stuffed up the wiring eg. the ground wiring ?

The below statement says i should be safe from electrocution cause of low voltage ... I hope :) So could i damage any components etc ?

Thanks

The only thing I can see that you could possibly damage is the keyboard or mouse port on your pc's motherboard but I believe that you would have to have your wiring completely out of whack and hosed to do that. While not indestructible the ports are fairly robust.

I'm not sure which encoder you're using. Just make sure you don't have any voltage going to any of the switch inputs.
