X-ARCADE BYO KIT INSTALLATION
The PCB board of the X-Arcade™ BYO Kit has 9 jumper connections on it, each is labeled with numbers
printed beside them on the PCB board accordingly. The wiring harnesses included are labeled as well,
making it easy to plug the appropriate harness into its jumper on the PCB board. Here is the layout of
the jumpers for easy reference:
The opposite ends of the wiring harnesses plug into the microswitches for the buttons and joysticks.
There are 3 pins on most microswitches, and the diagram below shows how to connect them. It does
not matter which wire goes on which pin, as switches are not polarized, just so long as you use the
correct pins. Buttons and joysticks with microswitches can be purchased at www.X-Arcade.com .
When connecting your controller to a PC using the X-Arcade PCB Kit
, the X-Arcade™
PCB works by acting as A KEYBOARD, it’s setup like a keyboard and your computer thinks it’s a
keyboard. It is, however, a normal game controller when you use the X-Arcade™ PC adapter included in
this kit.
