Hi guys
I purchased a very cheap pcb from ebay which allows me to connect buttons / switches for fsx. I have this all setup and working like a dream. Now I am looking at adding to my design a little and do without a keyboard altogether.
I have another board which is another 12 buttons (2 pins) I have 12 DPDT toggle switches, resistors and LED,s and a load of cable. Am i right in thinking, that the Toggle switch is labled like 1 4
2 5
3 6
and I would connect my 2 cables from the PCB to pin 1 & 3 to make the connection. And for the LED's, use a 9v battery with a 380ohms resistor connect the + terminal from the battery to the resistor and continue to the + on the led. COnnect the - from the battery to pin 4 and from pin 6 to the - on the led?
Here is a link to the PCB - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Zero-Delay-USB-Encoder-PC-to-Joystick-2pin-Happ-Push-Button-For-Arcade-MAME-/201073578115?pt=UK_Video_Games_Coin_Operated_MJ&hash=item2ed0eb5083
