Hi,
I'm trying to put together my first Gameboy Zero using Kite's Circuit Sword Lite.
In the wiki I cannot find a step to connect the rear buttons L1/R1.
Is there anyone that can guide me through it or give any advice?
Thank you!

Re: Circuit Sword Lite - how to connect rear buttons
The cables are labelled, see the connectors. In order to make it a button, you want to "short the labelled cable to GND" .. meaning if you have L1 + L2 + GND, so for L1 to work, put that to one side of the button and on the other side put the GND. For L2, do the same (with the same GND, all GNDs are common (the same) so you can use any, and use them multiple times).
Hope that makes sense, pretty simple really which is why it isn't really documented that well

Hi Kite, thank you for the reply.
Unfortunately, I'm not that good with electronics, I didn't really catch up everything. It would be really helpful if could add those steps into the wiki with the pictures too.
Thanks.
Stefano

With your buttons, solder one side the the wire labelled GND, and the other side to the L1 (or whatever the wire/button is that you want to use). If in doubt put pictures up here
