Also note that we also included a 2 x 3 connector that provides USB Power. This +5VDC can be used to power reed relays, LED indicator lights or any other small devices. Devices that draw a large amount of current can not be connected to the USB as it might cause harm to your computer's Power Supply.

Also note that the colors on the Extension Cable corresponds to the polarity of the 2 x 3 connector. The center wire on the Extension cable is red. This is the COMMON Ground connection. The outer wire is colored BLACK which corresponts to one of the 2630 inputs. The WHITE wire corresponds to the another 2630 input pin.

 

Switch wiring for the 2630 Board

The 2630 Board creates a CONSTANT ON Output at each of its 30 USB Outputs. This output depends on the position of the DPDT Switches. Should you elect to take full advantage on the 2630's capabilities, you need to wire 10 DPDT or SPDT switches as seen above.
Take either the 12 or 20 inch Extension Cable (These cables can be purchased from our PARTS Page) and cut off the MALE Connector (the Larger of the 2 connectors on the cable) and solder the WHITE wire to the TOP Terminal on the Switch. Solder the RED wire to the Center Terminal and the BLACK Wire to the Bottom Terminal. When complete, the cable can be connected to any of the available inputs on the 2630 board's input: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 (with the WHITE wire facing the computer chip) on the J1 Side and 11-12, 13-24, 15-16, 17-18 or 19-20 (with the WHITE wire facing to the edge of the board) on the J2 side. When connected to the USB Port on your computer (as seen on the Calibration Window), flip the toggle switch to all 3 positions; each will produce a CONSTANT ON (RED Button) at the USB output corresponding to the input pins the switch was connected to.

Below is the layout for the 2630 board. Unlike our Model 2120 (and equivalents) that has a J1 and J2 connector configured as a 17 x 2 input, "The Board" have Two 3 x 6 input pins for both J1 and J2 inputs. This allows each 1 x 3 inputs to have TWO switch terminals connected using just 1 Extension Cable. The 2630 supports up to 10 switches, so as you can see the last of the 3 x 6 row of pins for both J1 and J2 are open pins so no connections can be made here (N/C see below). The CENTER Row of the J1 and J2 are the COMMON connections for ALL switches connected. Whereas the pins to the left and right of center are the CONTROL Inputs to the board.

Seeing that we are using a DPDT switch and the first set of 3 terminals are already connected to the Extension cable (connected to the 2630 board), we can easily add  2 LED lights as switch position indicators to the remaining 3 terminals.

Above, we are using a RED and a GREEN LED Indicator rated at 6VDC. You can also use an LED rated for 12VDC. You will not see any difference in the brightness of the light. NOTE: WE are using LED Indicators; these devices already have a 330 ohm resistor installed inside the device. This resistor prevents the Indicator from drawing excessive current from the 2630 board and thus blowing out the LED. Stand alone LEDs can also be used in place of the Indicators but you need to install the two 330 ohm resistors yourself; one for each LED. This can be seen Here.

Rocker Switches, whether they are SPDT or DPDT are wired the same as the Toggle Switch see above. LEDs can also be wired to DPDT Rocker as well.

 

The Completed 2630 Board

With all the switches soldered and connected to the 2630 board, this is what it should look like.

With the 2630 board connected to your computer's USB Port, goto the Calibration window and click on DP3T Emulator. When first used, the board needs to be initiated. To do this, just flip a toggle switch to any position. Then all appropriate lights will illuminate. To test, flip a switch to all 3 positions and notice the changing RED Button indicators. Then program the 2630 as you would using the SETTINGs window in your Flight Sim Program.
