| Turbo Twist 2 - what is the 5-pin connector? |
| (1/3) > >> |

Does anyone know what the 5-pin connector is that attaches to the TurboTwist 2 spinner? The seller doesn't know what type of connector it is, and since we are trying to hook that spinner up to our own custom-programmed interface, we need to find a connector to plug up to it with. Thanks... |

I believe the product you're looking for is the TT2 "slave" cable like in this pic. Since the product isn't listed for sale separately on the website, contact Randy at GGG for pricing/availability. Scott |

Unfortunately, Randy does not know what the connector is either. I suppose if you owned one, and you broke the cable, your only option would be to buy the whole board over again. I have Molex and some other supplies looking at photos trying to see if it's a part they have, otherwise I'm going to have to go with a different supplier since I am hooking the spinner up to my own interface and have to get one I can connect to it. Thanks for the response. |

We have some cables in reserve for any such occurrences. |

I am glad you have them now -- when we wrote you about this a few months ago, you didn't have them available separataely. If anyone stubmles across this post, what we are working on is a TRON control panel recreation, including overlay stickers and the proper size/tilt/etc. Groovy Game Gear's TRON handle, along with recreated artwork from other sources, go a long way in to making TRON playable at home with the same feel as the arcade. I am doing my own interface for the controls, using an Arduino/Teensy type device, so there will just be one cable coming out of the device -- no need for two (like TankStick), or internal hubs and a mess of wires... So far, so good. Plus, the ability to toggle it to send out iCade commands so you could use it with games on an iPad or something (but not for the TurboTwist -- iCade is digital only, no spinner type interface). I expect we'll post photos when it's all done. |
