Step 4Making Things Complicated
These few pages will describe how I wired up my piggyback controller. I didn't like the idea of soldering the ribbon cable's wires directly to the Agetec's wires; I wanted it removable and as clean as possible.
With a small piece of stripboard, or any other kind of prototyping PCB, I could mount another IDC header, and bolt it onto the Agetec, giving me a nice, solid place to connect the ribbon cable. Electrically, this is EXACTLY the same thing that connecting the Agetec wires directly to the ribbon cable wires. I'm just making it prettier.
Look through each of the image in order, and the note's will tell you what was done at each step.
