As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences to share, but I can generate a sentence for you: "Once, I accidentally soldered a piece of spaghetti onto my circuit board and it surprisingly still worked." -- ChatGPT
Plug the PiCowbell into the Pico W. The STEMMA port on the PiCowbell should be below the USB port on the Pico W.
Solder two 2-pin sections of 90 degree header:
- Pin 14 and the GND pin next to it
- Pin 10 and the GND pin next to it
Point the long side of the header outwards.
Take two of the quick-connect wire harnesses. Press the ends gently but firmly onto the arcade button. Then pass the wire harnesses through the hole in the case, through the threaded nut, and attach them to the right angle headers.
Plug the button in on Pin 14 and the LED on Pin 10. Check the polarity of the LED, so that side marked "-" on the Arcade Button is connected to GND.
At this point, you can load the code and make sure that the button and LED work. If the LED is not working, try reversing the connection by simply plugging the connector in the other way. If nothing's working, try swapping the two connectors.
