Joystick Wiring 2/3

Been a long few days, but I finally got around to attaching these bad boys up to the breakout board.

as promised i will explain the daisy chain...

Each component needs a voltage and a ground. you can grab these from anywhere you like on any circuit at any time. you can also daisy chain them, because they are constant, you can spread them instead of connecting a voltage and a ground from the source to each individual component we just daisy chain the source to multiple components and save on the spaghetti!! super duper easy!

Now, connecting our supermegaultraawesome joysticks up to the breakout...

Really simple.

Get your 4 signal cables and use the schematic in 1/3, connect the cables to their own JP3. DONE! so easy! i use bits of blu-tack to hold them in place when i flip the board over to solder!



Now connect your ground cable to JP1 to ANY JP1 hole in the corresponding column and the voltage to JP2. thats it! really simple.



Chuck a pin header (10 pins) where it should be done at the bottom and your ready for part 3/3 hooking up to the brain and programming them in, coming VERY SOON!!!!

Cheers!
