Done rotary mod but ....

[Stephen g]

Need a little advise guys, iv done a tempest 2000 rotary mode, everything works well, apart from buttons B & C dont work unless i press both together.

 

I guess iv got a trace or solder touching each other. But doesn't look like it.

 

Its hard to make out what the correct solder point is on my diagram for B & C so im asking kindly can anyone point me in the direction of a clear picture of the jaguar circuit board points (im using the grey button controller)..

 

thanks

I just made some a couple of weeks ago, I can take the grey one apart (did them both) when I get home...

This is the best place to solder on the newer jag controllers(the ones with the skinnier cord).

Make sure you get a magnifying glass and look at the solder points. You can use a dentist's pick to scrap between the solder points.

 

EDIT: looks like that is the black button one, I will see if I have a good picture for the gray ones.

Here's mine. Overcooked it a bit, but works well. Use a multimeter to make sure there are no contacts between the points.

Thanks guys, I'll open her up again later and desolder and start again

I had The same problem when I try to use the solder points as well. That's why I only use the wires connecting the two separate circuit boards. I just remove the covering of the wires a little and connect the rotary leads there.

Why didn't I think of that.. lol how easy is that. Can you share A diagrame or pic please ?

Wonder how easy it would to put a switch on that way ?

I'm actually building a duo front mounted dial version with switch for a customer this weekend. I'll snap a pic before I close it up and post it here. Probably tomorrow morning.

That would be great thanks

Ok, so here are a couple pics. One is of the pcbs with the correct connecting wires exposed for ground, left and right; in order from left to right. In other words 1,2 &12. The same as the solder points that would have been used.

 

The other pic is of the rotary/switch assembly attached. Ground from the rotary and left/right from the rotary, to the switch then to the correct wires.

 

Hope these help!

Wow thanks, how easy is that, you don't even need to solder just use crimps..

 

Is this the same for the black keyed joypads ?

[Stephen g]

Can I ask what switchs do you use would any on off switch work ?

Nope, you need a DPDT switch, so it can switch both lines at once.
