    Default Donky Kong bongos

    so im harvesting some old donky kong bongos for their pads

    and i got em apart

    and im not sure how to wire them with these chips to a umc-32

    would i wire them like a momentary switch and would they be digital or analog?
    each of the two pads has two hit spots one on top (chip with blue wire) and bottom(white wire) wired separately off course

    it's digital,

    i would just leave the hit spots as they are and solder the end of the small pcb to the umc32, if just dont get why there are only 2 wires for 2 buttons, there must be a ground.. could you make some more pictures from the inside?
    is there enough space to mount the umc inside and maybe add some arcade buttons on the body of the drums

    looks like one big push button with a positive and negative, nothing special.

    I honestly see nothing worth taking out of it, just recycle it.
