Printed circuit boards, my worst nightmare, I need some help here and didn't know where to post, hope I got the right area.
But here's my problem, I need to modify a PCB for the wheel of a Thrustmaster RGT pro clutch to fit my new wheel, and I can't figure out how they wired it together and what they use the resistors for.
Heres a pic:
Am I correct in thinking they mounted everything in a serial formation and used the resistors for the miniprocessor to tell which button was pressed? And if so, does that leave me unable to cut move and re-solder buttons into a new formation?
The board it connects to is here (connectors are bottom left corner)
There are also 9 holes unused on the board, to 4's and 1 single, (J4 J3 and TP1(on the main board I havean unused TP1 J3 is To Pedal_2 and J4 is To Paddle(axis))) could anyone explain what these are able to connect to, or where they meant to be push-pull plugs like the main board?
Also the question arises, if I can't relocate the buttons, I'll need to ditch the whole board, and if so, will I be able to connect my paddle shifters straight to the main board?
At the very least I need my paddle shifters, the buttons can always wait till a later date.
Thanks in advance guys
