 +===== Pinouts =====
 +Most of the joysticks listed below use either spade connectors (AT-187 Japan size) or a 5-pin JST NH-series connector.  The 5-pin connector pinout is a bit complicated, because the function of the pins will vary depending on the stick's orientation on the panel.  The only consistent pin is ground, and even that's opposite for Seimitsu and Sanwa, and in rare instances (Namco's Cyber Lead cab, and the Seimitsu LS-33) even that's not reliable.
 +
 +But you can't hurt anything by wiring these up wrong, so if you're not sure, go ahead and experiment.
 +
 +The connector used for Sanwa and Seimitsu sticks is a **JST NH-series** 5-pin.  The pinout for the LS-33 and the normal Seimitsu/Sanwa mechs are:
 +
 +{{:arcade:jst-nh-5.png  |JST NH-series 5-pin connector  }}
 +^  Pin  ^  LS-33  ^  Seimitsu  ^  Sanwa  ^
 +|  1  | Down | **GND**  | Up (1 CCW)  |
 +|  2  | Right | Left (1 CCW)  | Down (1 CW)  |
 +|  3  | **GND** | Right (2 CW)  | Right (2 CW)  |
 +|  4  | Up | Down (1 CW)  | Left  |
 +|  5  | Left | Up (2 CCW)  | **GND**  |
 +
 +As a result, I can't claim this is totally accurate, though I believe it is.  There's a decent chance the Sanwa and Seimitsu pinouts are in reverse order, but since the connector can simply be flipped, it hardly matters.  
 +
 +The Namco pinout is correct, based on a connector on the RIGHT side, if you're looking from the top of the control panel.  If you're looking at it from below, it'll be on the left side (P1 stick connector towards center of panel, P2 towards edge).
