Tact switch polarity?

Post by evilxsystems »

The board has a pin layout for the tact switches. Do the switches have a polarity, is it possible to put them in backwards?

There is no polarity for the tact switchs, you can solder them as they come.

make sure the tact switches are soldered absolutely flat to the board though, i mounted mine a bit too quickly, and if even one of the switches are tilted to one side you'll have trouble when you try to fit all the buttons through the aluminum front panel.
