Hi all,
I am considering adding a lighted button to my panel. My panel is connected to the pc through the gameport. How do I power the lamp/light in a lighted-button? Is it as simple as connecting the +5v and the ground to the lamp assembly? Gameports have more than one +5v and more than one ground (right?), so would it be better to use one of the +5v and ground wires/leads that are not already connected to my buttons and joysticks? It's one of those big buttons like the "start" and "radio" buttons on cruisin' usa.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
