I have never posted in this forum before, but found it on google groups and hope someone here might be able to help me.
I havent used a soldering iron for about 20 years. I need to wire a pedal to a 15-port game port male plug. I am going to have three different wires coming from the physical pedal. One connects to a play button, one connects to a rewind button and one to a fast forward button. These are the instructions that the company gave for wiring this pedal:
~~~~ Standard 3 pedal wiring - "3 Pedal Game Port Control"
The 15 pin D type male plug must be wired as follows: Pins 1, 3 and 6 must be connected to each other. A pedal switch between 2 and 4 is Reverse. A pedal switch between pins 5 and 7 is fast-forward. A pedal switch between pins 10 and 5 is play. ~~~~
I do not understand this. I have seen diagrams, so I know which pins are by the number, but I do not understand what the "pedal swith between..." means? How will I wire that?
I am going to radioshack to get the parts and hoping if I take the instructions that they might show me what I have to do. I need to get this pedal working today, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
