Can I connect JLFs to Mini-Pac / I-Pac easily?


Recommended Posts

Hi there - 

 

I'm looking to connect 2 of these JLF joysticks to a controller board from Ultimarc, either an I-Pac or a Mini-Pac.

 

I have no experience working with electrical, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a simple way to use the JLFs with either of these controllers.

 

Would anybody have any tips for a wiring newbie?

 

Complicating things for me, I think, is the 5-pin wiring harness that's built into the JLFs. If not for that, I think I'd be able to connect microswitches to either of those controllers easily. But with the 5-pin harness, I'm not sure what I'd need.

 

Ultimarc told me I'd need to get an adaptor harness from the 5 pin joystick connector to male 4.8mm connectors, but that's not something they sell.

 

Is it as simple as buying this 5-pin wiring harness and some 4.8mm male spade crimp terminals (quick disconnects) like these or these and going like this:

 

JLF --> 5-pin wiring harness --> 4.8mm male spade crimp terminals (Quick Disconnects) --> ??? --> Mini-Pac?

 

Are things easier for me if I opt for an I-Pac instead of a Mini-Pac?

 

In case it's useful info, I'll be using 12 Ultimarc Goldleaf buttons as my action buttons and 6 Seimitsu PS-14-DN screwbuttons as my admin buttons.

 

Thanks!
