Topics to fix/review:

Joystick mounting is covered in 3.1.5 Mounting joysticks and 4.4.2 Mounting controls in the control panel, Joysticks -- Shouldn't we move the current 3.1.5 text to 4.4.2 and put a "see also" pointer in the text of 3.1 Joysticks? PL1 (talk) 12:52, 6 January 2014 (EST)


Images to find/make/fix:

Types of Cabs (standing) -- Banner with Sketchup line drawing of each sub-type with human figure for scale. Ask Gozer for permission to use some of his models? http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/cldetails?mid=4ac3dc12784cb20bd06e6be4f8954ac&prevstart=0

Excellent idea! Isn't it that since these are on the public section of the Sketchup warehouse, those are deemed public domain? Felsir (talk) 07:38, 3 January 2014 (EST)
Public domain or not, we should still ask permission and give Gozer a link + credit for his work creating the models. Someone else may need to do this since I'm no good at sketchup and still recovering from a HDD crash. PL1 (talk) 12:49, 3 January 2014 (EST)
Agreed, it's a good thing to give the guy credits for his work. I'll see if I can get some decent Sketchup images this weekend. Felsir (talk) 15:00, 3 January 2014 (EST)
Didn't have the time yet :( Felsir (talk) 03:40, 6 January 2014 (EST)


Types of Cabs (seated) -- Banner with Sketchup line drawing of each sub-type with human figure for scale.

Types of Cabs (small) -- Banner with Sketchup line drawing of each sub-type with human figure for scale.

What is JAMMA/JAMMA+? -- Pic of 56-pin JAMMA connector.

Mounting joysticks -- 4-player "straight" vs. "angled" joysticks.

Mounting options -- Diagram showing Top-mount, Under-mount (non-recessed), Under-mount (recessed), Threaded inserts, and Support blocks.

How do I wire microswitches to an encoder? -- Diagram or picture showing three microswitches wired to an encoder and a daisy-chain ground.

Single-Color and RGB LED buttons -- Pic showing the lighting and switch wiring.

Not sure why the alt text isn't showing up under the 18mm Sanwa pushbutton pic in "Mounting controls in the control panel -- Pushbuttons". Also, is the current size OK or should we revert to the older one that's 2x larger or the original that is 4x larger? Do you have any Sanwa/Seimitsu buttons that would look better in place of this pic? PL1 (talk) 12:52, 6 January 2014 (EST)
