Can I reverse the U-TRAK's axis without resoldering the wires?

[dekar24k]

So .. I mounted the U-TRAK "upside down" on my control panel...  I don't want to remove it and put it the correct way (mostly because I have already tunneled the wires from it through the cabinet), so I was wondering if I can somehow reverse the X and Y axis without cutting and re-soldering the wires? Right now up is down, down is up, left is right .. you get it ..

Thanks!

If you are using mame, it is as simple as going into the analog tab control and reversing everything. If this is going to a real arcade PCB, well then you will have to cut or move the wires. And I will actually have to take my U-Tarck apart as well, as I will be changing it from arcade pcb control to USB control for mame, it's a PITA but if you do it right, it will only have to be done once. I really like this trackball, my wife and I have punished it playing World Class Bowling Deluxe for months without any issues at all.

Thanks for the info! If I were to only use MAME on my cab then I'd just swap them in the MAME config, but I guess I'll just cut and swap the wires around instead.

Yes, the U-TRAK is really awesome. I used it in my previous cab also.

There is no need to cut the wires. The pins, with wires attached can be pushed out of the plastic parts of the 2 white connectors. Just swap purple/blue and yellow/green.

Sorry, forgot to update this thread. I did exactly what you said Andy at it worked perfectly. Only took me 30 seconds also. Thanks!

Andy, is there any chance of a 2.5" version of the U-Trak being released?  I was hoping to have one for a cocktail project, but I'm afraid the 3" is just a bit too big.
