while looking at a keyboard matrix and testing the diffrernt combinations of the matrix, how do you know which soder spots will fry the circuitboard when combined. how do you tell where the x and y asis are on the matrix??? are the x and y on the same side of the circuitboard(i would imagine so)??? just to let you know i am connecting the ribbon cable to a keyboard hack or circuit board and connector blocks so i can change the controls easily. one other thing, while hooking up a joystick to the connector blocks, i know i connect up on the joystick to the combination that pushes up on the circuitboard and after i get all four directions wired to the joystick, do i somehow connect the 4 ways on the joystick so it makes a circle.thanks for the help
