4) Release the switch and identify the correct wires to use from the stereo cable by shorting two of
them together. When the correct pair of wires are shorted together the keyboard test window will show
A, B, C, D or E
5) Attach the spade connectors to each of the two wires identified in step 4. Use a crimp tool or solder
them to ensure they are firmly attached
6) Connect the wire to the arcade switch using the spade connectors and press the button to check
that the keyboard test window shows A, B, C, D or E
You should now have an arcade button attached to a cable with a 3.5mm jack plug which looks
something like this:
Finally use the StealthSwitch Configuration Utility to program each of the buttons to send the required
key strokes. The best way to do this is to right click on the required button in the main Configurator
window and select "Macro 1", click on "1st KEY" and type the first key in the macro e.g. function key
F4 to start the photobooth sequence. If the macro has more than one key, e.g. Ctrl+B to select black
and white mode, click on "1st KEY" and press (and release) the Ctrl key then click on "2nd KEY" and
press C. When you've finished press the Program button to program the StealthSwitch 3 (you only
need to do this once - the StealthSwitch 3 will remember the settings and can be used on any
computer). The StealthSwitch 3 is now ready to be used to control the photobooth.
Serial Port Method
What you need
1.
Unless the PC has a serial port you will need a USB to RS-232 adaptor such as the StarTech.com
USB to RS-232 Serial DB9 Adaptor. This is not the cheapest adaptor available, but it does work on
Windows XP and Windows Vista.
2.
DB9 socket and wires or an old RS-232 cable with a DB9 socket
3.
A suitable "push to make" button. The arcade style button below was purchased from Gremlin
