Re: Makn' switches on a serial port

the way switches work is that they have a common, NO, and NC terminals. You probably need to connect the common and NO terminals to the joystick cable wiring.

On the internal joystick cable, the common wire is green, the trigger switch wire is black, and the top switch wire is brown.

at least that's what I figured out a couple days ago. Please double check with the pinout as suggest in the previous post, and look at this thread

also I don't quite understand why more people don't put the wire color in their otherwise very helpful joystick wiring diagrams
