Wired to NO instead of NC
-
So, I'm a big dumb idiot and just SOLDERED all my buttons to the NC terminal instead of the NO terminal. Is there any way I can configure the ControlBlock to reverse what it considers "on" and "off"?
I really don't want to have to unsolder and re-solder all these buttons...

@domodan I thought that the terminals on the control block were screw terminals for buttons. If you are referring to the fact that you have soldered wires directly to the normally closed terminals of the micro switches inside your arcade buttons then no, you must de-solder and attach them to normally open otherwise they will all appear as permanently pressed. Why are you soldering at all? Crimp for the button contacts and terminal blocks for control block?

I'm a fan of solder over crimping and spade connectors. I don't have the right size spade connectors...the ones I have are too big. Solder works great...if you connect it to the right terminal. LOL. I was so excited I wasn't paying close enough attention for a second.
