Re: How to Connect ITX LED and Button Connectors?

I finally got the LED and button to work correctly. I'm answering my own question here to give anyone wondering how to get the external button/LED of a Commodore C64X case working. Button: PWR+ goes to pin 1 and PWR- goes to pin 3 (labelled P3) for Reset on push. LED: LED+ goes to pin1 (+5V) and LED- goes to pin 3 (for disk access) on the 7-pin con...

Re: Any place to connect Disk / HDD LED on Analog IO board? (Checkmate Case)

A very late reply to this thread, but I just wanted to thank you for clarifying how to get that LED working!

Re: How to Connect ITX LED and Button Connectors?

@Arakon, thanks so much for your reply! This is exactly the kind of info I have been trying to find out! Unfortunately, I tried the pins you mentioned with a working LED, and no luck. I'm thinking that it has to do with resistor values you mentioned. Is there any hack I can do fix this?

Re: How to Connect ITX LED and Button Connectors?

Hi! Thanks for answering! I managed to get the button to work (connected to Pins 3 and 1 on P3), but I've had no luck getting the LED to work connecting to pins 6 or 5, and 2 on P4. I've also read something about needing a 330 Ohm resistor connected to the LED? Is this why it's not working fro me?

Re: How to Connect ITX LED and Button Connectors?

UPDATE: I have managed to frankenstein some wires well enough to get the button working. Still absolutely no luck in getting the LED to work. I've tried another LED as well, and still nothing. What am I missing here?

How to Connect ITX LED and Button Connectors?

I have searched and asked around for help with this, but to no avail. I'm trying to connect a LED and push button to the Mister I/O board, but have not had any success. I realise there is a schematic for the white LED and button headers, but nothing I've tried has worked. I may even have blown the LED doing this. I was able to get the button to wor...

Re: Commodore C64X-G Build

Love this - your finsihed build looks beautiful. I have a transparent C64x and I'm thinking about gettting a mister clone and doing this. Thanks for sharing!
