Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone knew what type or where to get a cable that could be plugged into the OI to hook up custom buttons and switched. I know how to do it I just don’t know where to get the cable. I am using both of the joysticks from this years KOP and I don’t want to take the cables of previous years controllers.
Any ideas?
What is everyone else doing?
Thanks,
Matthew
That is a standard 15 Pin D-sub connector.
Any electronics part supplier (mouser, jameco, digikey) will carry them and they come in many different wire connection styles (crimp wires into pins, solder cups, a clamp onto ribbon cable, connectors with wires already attached, etc…). It can be kind of overwhelming in terms of quantity of options, but any 15 pin d-sub will fit. The most universal (although not my favorite) is just plain solder cups.
Any idea about who would cary them locally in a large city. Im in Los Angeles/ Hills Area of Southern. California.
Some of the name brand stores I can get to eassily are radio shack, bestbuy, fryes, auto zone, pet boys, its late but I think that covers it fir the most part. I wanted to do the OI tomorow…well today noe as in Monday so I was hoping to pick them up local.
Any ideas for local places to grab it would be great but the name helps, 15 pin d-sub right? (I think thats what you said)

Lucky! Fry’s has everything. We don’t have the fortune of having one in Florida, but every one I’ve gone to on vacation carries oddball connectors and small parts; much moreso than radioshack. I have a hard time imagining them not having it (although radioshack should too).
Im lucky I have one but the problem is I can never be in and out so may things to play with and look at it usally turn into an all day excursion maybe I can limit myself sience we are only what 8 days from ship.
