Here are the parts numbers you'll need:

$2.39 8-Position Dual Row Barrier Strip #274-670
$1.59 8-Position Bus Strip #274-650

Depending on the number of controls you're hooking up, you may need more. I bought three sets. I won't even bother to describe using them here. Once you see them, they are self explanatory. And your controls will be hooked up in parallel, not serial. (So if one control fails, the rest will still work.)

Happy gaming,

Joe

: I know this question has been asking a thousand times, but I want to make sure I've got this right. I have the LP24 and plan on using it in matrix mode with the layout described on the interface page of this site. What I am wondering is do I run the wire from column A, row 1 to the NO pin on the microswitch and run another wire from the COM to the ground pins on the LP24? Also, can I daisychain the ground wire between all buttons (i.e. run 1 wire to each ground and then back to the encoder)? Am I making any sense??? I hope so, the cabinet's done and now I'm into wiring.

: Also, if anyone has their LP24 config disc handy, could you please zip up the contents and email it to me at rocket@emu2k? I left mine down at my parent's house and its almost a 2 hour drive to get it.

: Thanks!

: Nate
