Hooking up trackball to Apache spinner. Weird things happen :( Pls Help!
« on: November 05, 2011, 03:01:22 am »
Well I can hook it up and it will work, but then the spinner wont.  :banghead: The documents say it supports the spinner plus a trackball and 5 buttons.

Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?

Might be an assignment problem.   Since the spinner uses the x axis make sure the trackball uses y and z.  Just a guess as I never hooked up a trackball to it. :)  Or if you cannot set the trackball to use y and z and it uses x and y then use the onboard setting jumper on the BH board to make the spinner use the z axis.

K figured it out but still weird to me.  The trackball can not and will not use Z axis so i put the spinner on the Z axis and the trackball on X and Y.  The only program that recognizes Z is MAME.
