Transcripts

hey guys I was asked by a guy in the

comments günther to go into a bit more

detail about setting up the zero delay

USB input board for the mini pinball

that I may know as well as some other

things so we'll just very briefly go

through this bait basically what the kit

consists of if you buy this kit is you

there's a a small circuit board and the

various plug sockets for the for the

buttons are joystick and what have you

there's a button there's a joystick

event club an eight-way joystick you can

include you can use obviously one of the

guys mentioned there it doesn't need to

build a pinball and that's correct

attitude for me and you can make this

into an eight or a four way just by

changing the position of this of this

guy but and down Kings Park it so I'll

show you how to do that you get eight of

these buttons these are thirty two

millimeter buttons and and you get a

couple of the twenty five-millimeter

problems these are LED you take it

without LEDs but they're two sets of

connectors in there one for power and

for the button obviously Sigler one for

the LED for the LED well these

shortcomings here you notice about this

so each button will have its own

individual connection there's not an

individual connection for the LEDs and

you can buy more expensive ones if

that's what you want to do but basically

this is obviously the cheapest one that

I could find so so you basically have to

have to use a different method you get

ten of these small cables that go the

three and a half mil spade connectors to

the back of the buttons and each one it

goes

look there there's a cable for the

joystick and there's a cable for the USB

connection so basically just a case of

putting it all together obviously what

you'd be putting it into its it into a

pinball box or a main cabinet box

similar to something like this which is

something I've been working on but

basically we're just going to do it out

on the top here so you can see so you

can see what it goes all what it's all

about

well set up one of these but instead of

a joystick and and attach it to the

computer and you could you can see

exactly how that how that works

spade connectors is pretty simple the

ones on the outside if the LED on there

if the micro switch and the way that

this these go on is top right here

what I'm left with another positive the

red cable this one here there's the

negative okay so just

that's for one set no these are for

these I'm touching two led I'm going to

put them sort of power so you can see

the LED come on book you would need to

daisy chain these together basically the

way that I did it is that these you can

cut the cables here splice them together

and then you run that you run that

through a bigger part in this way around

you run that through to the next one and

you do the same you do the same you need

to set up in your in your and your

cabinet exactly where you're gonna put

this so you know the length of the cable

are you gonna use there's another easier

option is where you can actually order a

daisy change set of these cables with

the with the with the Spade connectors

already on for a few dollars but again

it was obvious it wasn't that if you

will took a little bit of time on the

pond the pinball there but but basically

we're just gonna show you on one of two

buttons here how this is put together

okay so again read the opposite corners

because of SIF and then the basically

that that's it now on on the board here

as you can see this is this is the the

cable for the for the micro switch

there's only one way around you can put

this in you couldn't get it in the wrong

way around even if you tried forcing it

and it just slips in and clicks into

place there so basically that's it as

far as wiring the micro switch up is

concerned and but what we're going to do

is illiterate these are to power these

are to powerless to go through this

these all connect to two buttons as do

these and basically you've got

connection of one button of a 1 2 3 or a

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 etc around surround

him these ones here will just be

standing problems but these ones here if

you look at the text down the side

you've got like mold and turbo so if you

set bottoms up to this and you then they

will lie can also fire

no changing for the paper that's not

necessary but it might be something you

want to experiment with put a button on

there and then and then see what happens

these two red ones here have have power

and so this is a +5 volts so this will

power the LED die in there okay so

that's the third first button done to

continue and having having the LEDs

obviously you'd only two problems as I

said you're doing it's a daisy chain all

those together but he's got a needs its

own separate input and that's why these

are designed this use we could I can

show you here with another another

button no I want another button very

very quickly that's this one this one

here and as I said opposite corners and

that would be button number two or

whichever you want you want to put it on

it doesn't it doesn't really matter you

might want to do it logically but it

doesn't really matter exactly how you

wire is or because in in the joystick

properties in on a computer you can

check you can change these and what the

government actually does but basically

this is what one button to another

choice take the judges cover different

types of joysticks and I found and this

one here is obviously since I achieve

one but it and you've got two sets of

some of them needs to be wide up

settling each each movement has it would

have its own cable and be put into this

one here over this one it doesn't do

that

and basically on this particular choice

that you need to put this need to put

this into into it there's a five pin

connector there and then there's only

one place on the border you can put it

in and that's here so we'll just we'll

just put that look that joystick into

there and then basically that's about it

you just continue going through each of

these for every state every button

anyone - in order to get the LED to come

out of here you can see this here now

the plug socket here is the same as I

put here so so let's kind of this cable

is is of no use so you can see that's

what I prepared there but basically what

you would need to do is similar to this

one you would need a plug type - the

same type of plug so I'll show you on

this we use this power out the second

sock in there on that and then take that

- that's the power the LED and now what

you can see is evolved also they to

change another connection here because I

got hold of a couple of these these are

that one or two place top ones for the

other for the other project that I that

I am going to start and again this is

powerful the LEDs the LED on this one

goes to here

the wrong way around but never never

mind it won't blow up if they are on my

round and then this one here will plug

so it will cook this one to button well

I may think makes it but justice is just

to demonstrate let's say for long

so basically what we're hoping when we

plug this in is that these two ones one

of two is for provoking five a joystick

joystick and the lights will come on

this is it this is a USB cable which is

actually really it's probably I won't

put two 1.4 meters long just a standard

USB multiple number one there and if you

if you're using two of these and you

plug them into your computer you want to

plug them into the same socket each time

so it recognizes the same computer that

those are the same the same controller

II each time and again this is just a

simple socket isn't it one place to plug

it in okay today and that's it popular

local environment was many more many

more buns as you're busy one but for our

demonstration purposes that's all we're

going to do it for now I'm gonna plug

this into the computer and let's take a

look as if it lights up expecting

okay so okay so that's exactly what

we're expecting this one here button is

the LEDs come on LEDs come on come on to

this one and then this one here we

didn't we didn't put a power to it so

that's why the LED is not on that one

and and the powers come on to the joist

it's just it's got a little multicolored

little flashing LED thing in there and

nothing that's power manage the preset

and so that basically is is it now I'll

show you on the computer I'll just have

to move the camera around but I'll show

you on the computer how that how that

works and in where it's ending up in the

computer just gonna let me just move the

camera around so I've moved it over to

the computer here I've got a one of the

mono might spare eggs here this is this

is running Windows 10 and just just a

standard desktop so the USB just plugs

just puts into a USB port and that

provides the power there's a red light

on the on the board there to show you

that and if power power is just coming

in okay again

the ISO come on I will tell you you've

probably noticed I had put this the

wrong way around this is one of those

that you can in your 50 50 percent

chance to get it right but if you won't

damage it if it's plugged in the wrong

way if it doesn't come up properly and

when you're testing this then you can

the likelihood it so you may well have

put I in the wrong way around on a

joystick you can't blue in the wrong way

around

settings assess of USB game controller

Sega okay so the game controls similar

sender was in Windows 7 and what have

you so if we click on them if you choose

like this there's only one chose to be

plugged in so it's sunny it's not

showing you one stasis is fine we're

gonna we're gonna look at the prophecies

of look at the properties just like any

other joystick properties

now what were looking for is we're

looking to make sure that these buttons

work correctly so this one was wide up

to number one so we want them to want to

dress so you can see that this one here

without the lights and cable plant the

cable routing is something you spend a

little bit of time on because you don't

be moving stuff around cables popping

out snapping in wow this is number two

but it hasn't got a LED light up as we

know but that's working fine then this

we plugged into number five so you could

move that right to the end in a did you

know a number 12 or something like that

there are 12 locations or buttons here

and there mmm just to just to get it get

some sort of logic so how you putting

this all together and then the joystick

the joystick as I mentioned I'd pull up

run around for the roll around and when

I swats it around now and and there you

go you can see that that's this exit as

I mentioned in a pinball video the

springs are particularly strong but it

was one of the guys mentioned if you

just do it with your pinball you

wouldn't need to I have this on anyway

there you go

he's begun to they're the comments had

asked about a plan no I just run this

off very very quickly and dazzling I've

done this on Photoshop and I've got the

PSD file and this is a PNG file on the

Google Drive there's a link in the

content in the in the details section

below so you can just click on that and

download this you can you can use this

it's not it's not to scale as you can

see it's not size of scale but the

dimensions that I used are on there so

for them for this so you can use it as a

base to design your own but like I say

the link for this is down below the

video so just click on eyes this is a

very very small file okay so we'll take

a little of the software like so I've

just come over to my main computer here

where I can record this screen this is

also a main gaming computer steam

installed and a lot of other things

going on but basically and what I'm just

gonna show you here is how again this

works so that the joisting here is the

generic USB joystick yeah I've plugged

in just to the USB port now if we go to

the game controller settings here

properties on that then again as as was

Oh happened over there number one number

two we got

and the five sets up to a single player

start button or do whatever we want it

to really and then the joystick in

joystick and now I plugged it in and it

detected it perfectly you don't have to

set anything up it just detects it as a

general USB joystick he go into the

properties and you can just tell her

everything is working now in order to

use that with a program that doesn't

want to

it doesn't expect a joystick to be

plugged in for example pinball fx2 and

three that kind of program and the

pinball arcade

they're expecting key presses from a

keyboard so you can get out of a program

here called a joy to key from from the

website now you can see here joytokey

dotnet and basically is it explains here

but you you use a joystick or in our

case our our USB arcade sets up and the

program detects the joystick input and

changed it to a key press output for a

particular piece of software it's a

great program take a look at the website

and and you can download that that's

free you don't pay anything okay so

we're just gonna open that and you can

see here it tells me on this particular

profile you can set up a profile for

each particular game if the importer you

requires is not the same for each one

but say say hey so if we press the press

the button first button that we've got

here is this one it's just one here

button joystick two because I've got a

an Xbox 360 controller plugged in at the

moment but yeah you can see it's

disabled so basically if you got a promo

and nothing it won't you set the button

press but double click on that and then

we can we can set that

they're as as enter okay so you can see

here now that is assigned n to that one

bun to which we've also got wider that

let me know LED on you remember this one

here will use that one is escape okay

button three is it's not plugged in nor

four but five is cocaine okay so you

could also that's got the one player

start on there so basically you could

use that as say for example on MAME you

would start a one player game by

pressing one but these are just examples

it depends really what you want what you

want to to achieve in a piece of

software that you're using at a time

okay now to stick here we can use his

stick left if we are sorry so that's

that's going that's going on so if we if

we use that we can we can set that to

the left our okay

[Music]

okay so we can use we can use use we can

use these to set up for any and any

software any software gonna save the

profile under the name of the software

joystick key will automatically load a

profile and if it's the same name as the

executable file they use so if you've

got F x3 cymbal FX real something you

have a profile pinball fx2 and it'll

automatically load that setup for each

one you come out have a pro I'm going to

another one it'll it'll load the next

the next profile for the software that

you're using okay so that's that's about

it we'll save that and we can we can

just close that down I've got it set so

it's still running in the background if

if required and okay so that's that's

about it and if you've got any if you've

got any questions again ask please ask

in the comments and we'll catch you on

the next video

okay cheers guys
