I think you are talking about this:



right?

if dont know what legs of the tact switch to need to wire (like me ), get a multimeter and test it.

at least two of the 4 legs should be disconected when the tact switch is not pressed, and be connected when it is pressed.

If not have a multimeter, just got a battery and a motor, or something easy and use the tact switch as a normal switch, and test wich ones are the good ones.

dont worry, it is only a switch , it will not be broken for incorrect leg using, so you have lot of posible tries without any risk

Wiring to legs diagonal of each other always works.

example:

Code: Select all

*----
l    l
 ----*

(square is the tact switch, * is which pin to solder to)

thanks vskid, now we got the correct pinouts.

so here is the complete diagram.



I hope this help you with your system atarihacker.

good luck mate

Wondering if anybody would happen to know anything about 5-pin tact switches? Is the fifth pin just an extra ground, or is it something more complicated than that?
