Which wires in the 5-pin joystick harnesses are for which direction, ground on Seimitsu LS and Sanwa JLF joysticks

Originally from ticket #140.

 

Hi! Can you tell me which color wires are for which direction on both a seimitsu LS 58 and a JLF, please? I got both joysticks and wiring harnesses from your site. Is there a trick to knowing? This seems like the kind of information that should come in the packaging. Thanks for the help! This is my first joystick project!

    Hi Milliard,

    Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately neither Sanwa or Seimitsu offer such wiring guides with packaging, and while we don't receive a question about such wiring that often, there is a helpful guide that was created by SRK member rtdzign. It shows the wiring colors and their pin attachments for both Sanwa and Seimitsu. The 5-pin harnesses from both Sanwa and Seimitsu are basically interchangeable, just that the ground wire is reversed in the Seimitsu-style harness. The attached guide should help.
