Hey AO chaps, long time no see etc. (Been mostly on the STG vibe of late, over at shmupppppsville...)

Right, had to update this thread, and ask all y'all tech-hedz a damn important Q:

Check pix of my Vogatek (btw, this has proved a real sturdy lil' pcb solution to me, so far!):

BUT, now a brutha needs test button on there ASAP! (To get at 'supa-secret' Ibara Version.)

Sooo...

WHERE do I solder the freakin' wires to?

Thank you please long time ;-)

@Korszca

Thank you sir for such a prompt reply! (Now, remember I am quite retarded when it comes to this sorta 'ting innit! ;-) )

So, if I solder one of above wires from Sanwa button, to pin 15 (on top side of supergun, at connector) - then where do I solder other wire from button to, to make 'loop' for switch?

Again, thanks.

Any of the grounds - pick the closest outermost pin.

So, as above, I (assume) that solder one wire to the topside, exactly where arrow is, but what of other wire? Thanx ;-)
