| Please note some changes as of 7/8/99, that I've made in the wiring and pin assignments. These changes have made it possible to use just one switch for single to dual axis switching instead of two.
In single axis
1. Use of the +5v output of pin #9 instead of pin #8.
2. Pin #6 now connects to the left brake lug instead of the right.
3. Pin #9, instead of pin #8, now connects to the center brake lug.
In dual axis
1. Pin #6 now connects to the left brake lug instead of the right.
2. Pin #11 now connects to the left gas lug instead of the right.
