For a serial pedal we require 2 normally open switches? 1 contact on each switch is common and connected to pin 4? The other side of the switch is connected to pin 1 and 6 for Play and rewind? o-------------- 1 / Play - FF o |-------------- 4 o / Rewind o-------------- 6 Should this work on all types of serial port (DB9)? Any known exceptions?

I've tried both ways. As soon as you touch the play button it fast forwards! I've tried it with and without the "tap" option set.

What type of pedal are you using? Does the playback start when you press the play pedal or do you have to start manually? Sounds similar to the problem I am having with a serial pedal.

Well I thought I was worth my salt but I can't get it to do anything but fast forward! I've tried all pins but the only ones that will learn are 1, 6,8 and 9. 6 is Rewind and the others just fast forward. The only work around I can find is to slow the fast forward function down to 100% with no acceleration. Am I missing something obvious here, we have two normally open switches with pin 4 as common and then pin 6 goes to the Rewind and pin 1 goes to the Play/FF switch. Pin 4 is not "ground" but DTR which is obviously set by the program, 1 and 6 are inputs. See http://www.aggsoft.com/rs232-pinout-cable/...-and-signal.htm for more info. So is this a hardware problem or is there another setting in the program I need to configure to get my play button to play?? Does the serial port need setting to a specific type or baud? (I would think the software would set that up as it wanted) Any ideas would be gratefully received.
