Re: Autonomous Controller Board Switch

we made our own dongle using a single pole single throw swhich that shorted pins 8 and 5 on a DB15 connector. If you don't have a DB15 connector around another simple way of making the connection is to strip off the ends of a solid strand wire (maybe 22AWG) and short the pins on the DB15 female on the controller. Of course this is a little risky because you have to pay careful attention that you are shorting the correct pins to ground. You could damage the controller if you connect the wrong pin to ground.

Hope that this helps
