SNAC and Atari 2600 adapter

Unread post by sk8er000 »

Hello,
I've been able to assemble SNAC (USB version) and all the controller adapter, everything is working but there are a couple of things that are unclear and I wasn't able to find an answer on the web.

1) The JST X1 connector (not the jumper) on the SNAC PBC what is meant for?
2) On the Atari 2600 adapter how do I use the female jack?
3) On the Atari 2600 adapter what's the difference between leaving "7GPIO" closed or opened?

Thank you in advance :D

If I remember correctly the jack is used in combination with the ADC (analog input) board to support paddles.

I too have been wondering about that 🤔

What is it for? :mystery:
