Does anyone have an good guide?

Which part has you most confused?  With such a vague question, you're probably not going to find the information you desire.  Ultimately, it's just a box with 1 1/8" hole drilled into it, wired up to a bunch of boards which attach to your keyboard connection.  Let us know, and you'll probably get better answers.

Wiring is the easiest part!  If you are using microswitches you wire each NO to the proper node on your encoder and you daisy chain all of the COMs together and into the ground node on your encoder.  I use 20 gauge solid core wire and .187 crimp connectors so there's no soldering.  The control panel on my first cabinet was the first thing I ever wired in my life and it was the easiest part (and most relaxing).   :cheers:
