Quick help!!! Button PCB in the Kidney Neo Stick

any resource on this with a diagram of what goes where? I am trying to swap all the wiring into an arcade stick.

It looks like it should be an easy mod. Just splice and run ground/buttons. Joystick is an easy swap of wires. But the buttons are on a PCB like a gamepad. I don't want to solder if I don't have to. If there is anywhere with a diagram of the wiring on this thing as it goes out to the DB-15 that would rock.

Pixel... I am rebuilding some old style and used a power cord from a busted up kidney stick. I have all the info on wire colors written down. I will shoot you a pm in a bit.

Figured I might as well just post it here... for future searches. The wiring is the same as the old style with the exception of pin 8 having a light blue wire for the +5.

Looking at the end of the connector (going up the cord to the pad) the pins are numbered as such:

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
15 14 13 12 11 10 9 (hope that formats correctly!)


Pins:

1. Brown Ground
2. Empty
3. Red Select
4. Orange D
5. Yellow B
6. Dark Green Right
7. Blue Down
8. Light Blue +5 (new sticks only)
9. Light Green D
10. Empty
11. Purple Start
12. Gray C
13. White A
14. Black Left
15. Pink Up


Hope that helps.

oh man! thank you! I'm stuck at work all day. Now I just want to get home and work on this! I just used the connectors on the stick on my new stick, just trying to figure out what wires did what for the buttons from that white connector that goes on the PCB. I experimented a little last night and got "A" working, but the Ground was weird.

thanks!!!

update: works perfectly! You saved me so much time and trouble, THANK YOU.

Its moments like these I am very thankful for this site.

no problem

Glad they worked for you.
