Hi guys
I can't get my sling shot switches to work, i don't have access to a real machine and i have failed at googling.
Could someone please check my pictures ?
I am using a 8x8 switch matrix on a p-roc.
The blue/white wire is my column.
And the brown is my row.
The white and green just link switches.

Not sure this is my first pinball adventure.
On my slingshot switch the blue column wire goes to the black side of the diode.
And on this ball one switch the same column blue wire goes to the centre pin on the micro switch, and then on to the next ball switches.

That suggests to me that the blue wire should be connected to the banded side of the diode.
