Racing for Fulcon Capital Posts: 9,322 Group: Admin Member #281 Joined: March 8, 2010	i cracked open my ascii racing wheel. Im curious about the up/down switch. Sort of looks like a mini OEM thumstick. Spring loaded, axis piece, etc. Four wires--orange, brown, yellow, red--run down the neck: To the Nintendo branded board: Plugged into the board in the same way an OEM Thumbstick connects: More board pics: [img]http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae327/bluedogrulez/0e4d5f16.jpg[/ing]

The board is down at the base. Hence the wire party. I should note that an OEM thumbstick has 6 wires; i assume that the switch only has 4 because it does not transmit a L or R signal, but i could be mistaken.

Racing for Fulcon Capital Posts: 9,322 Group: Admin Member #281 Joined: March 8, 2010	It appears that there are 4 wires (yellow, orange, red, brown; botton left of photo) that come from the Wheel (as opposed to buttons on wheel): The wires connect to the board by the 4-wire plug next to the 4-wire plug for the switch.
