rkrishnasankaSo I had to change my initial design of the arcade joystick controller to from a low side switch to a highside switch to make it work correctly. I think I will need to create a separate reference diagram for the adafruit folks to add to their website.
Finally I decided that I'm going to crimp the joystick cable into a JST XH 5 pin so that it becomes easier to assemble on the board and because its easier to get the housing components.
This assumes that the cable is at the bottom:
| Wire | Direction | Pin Number (From Left) |
|---|---|---|
| Red | EAST/RIGHT | 5 |
| Orange | WEST/LEFT | 4 |
| Yellow | SOUTH/DOWN | 3 |
| Green | NORTH/UP | 2 |
| Black | Common Ground | 1 |
