DJTT VCI-100 Arcade Button Mod Kit

[Shane]

why do you guys need "kits", just buy some diodes and wire.. solder + shrink wrap if you want to do a nice job, or you can tape it.. The overlays will be here in may, and the buttons + firmware are in the store..

I bought my IN4001 Micromini Silicon diodes yesterday at Radio Shack and I have lots of wire. Now if all the other stuff will get here I'll be good to go.

What type of diodes do you guys recommend?

1N4001 Micromini Silicon diodes

What type of diodes do you guys recommend?

These. photojojo had them as IN4001, but it is 1N4001.

I'm pretty sure my package says IN4001 because the 1 at the end doesn't look like the same as what's in front.



The data sheets for 1N4001 and IN4001 are attached and they look like they could be the same, but I'm not really that smart. Can anyone confirm that before I fry my VCI that's set to arrive Tuesday?

The specs are the same. I agree that it is confusing the 1 vs I!

So if i buy 1 or i, it will be the same?

[Glen]

Oh yea, would we need any thing else? we just need these diodes, some wire, then buttons?

[photojojo]

Solder, good soldering iron, and shrink tubing.
