seimitsu stick and buttons wiring.

ok, so i'm building an xbox stick.

i've got the case ready to go.

i've got the pcb all wired already.

now, i need to know which of the contacts on the seimitsu buttons and sticks are ground and which are live. i figured it out once before when i attempted to build a ps1 stick, but that never happened and now i forget which goes where.

so, does anyone have a diagram of which is what?

there's little symbols on the buttons where the contacts are, but i don't know what they stand for.

can anyone help?

thanks.

Don't have a Seimitsu stick, but I do have a micro switch... Do the symbols look like three dots/circles with a line connecting two of them? If so, connect the ground to the bottom circle labeled "com" and the signal wire to the "NO" circle. "NO" means normally open. These two pins won't be connected by that line. The line will be connecting com and NC (normally closed).

This website has alot of basic stick building information.

gamejunkie's information should help you, but if it doesn't, try posting a pic or describing the symbols that are there.
