Wierd GC controller problem...

Post by **Gamelver** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 11:03 pm

ARGH!!! I officially hate official GC controllers

...anyway, for whatever reason, the start button has been acting funny....whenever it's left open or whatever, it'll turn off and on repeatedly...I had to tie the start button to ground to get shut the damn thing off...anyway...anyone have any solutions to this stupid little problem?

(btw, I know I could just use a normally closed switch that when pressed opens the circuit...but I'd rather just actually fix the problem rather than get around it

)

Edit: hmmm....perhaps tying some kind of resistor froum start to ground may fix this.....hmm.....I'm gonna have to screw around with this tomorrow...or later today, rather

im just sayin for my start buton i wired one lead from a tact switch to the trace from the start button and the other lead to a grounding strip on the GC

well, I installed a normally closed switch so now the start button works fine again....

time to.....Unopenerize...

I'd say a 10k pulldown resistor would be better

hmm....perhaps that would work...but...well, I already installed the normally closed switch...maybe later I might switch it, I guess
