installed happ trackball wrong way .....help
(1/2) > >>
stavros693000:
i have already cut the hole and applied the artwork, buttons,wired etc......every thing is finished
............then i plugged it in for a test run and found that when i scroll the trackball up ,the mouse cursor goes in a different direction  :banghead:

is there anyway to fix this problem, like maybe rewiring and if so how?  any help would be grately appreciated

I really dont want to rebuild cause the artwork was expensive and if i cut the hole any bigger the mounting plate wont fit....any solutions, thanks cheers stavros :cheers: 

edit....here is pic of said C/panel

PBJ, thanks mate for the quick response. here are a couple of pics, which conector are you talking about ?
Also they only seem to plug in one way , so im not sure how to turn them around ???
Any suggestions thanks mate

What you actually need to do is switch the two data lines for the axis that is going the wrong way.

For example, if the axis that is backward has 4 wires that are red (5v), black (ground), yellow (data 1), and green (data 2), you would swap the yellow and green wires.   :cheers:

i tried that....switching the green and white wires (dosn't have a yellow wire) but that didnt work so i just cut the hole a little and fudged the trackball around 90 degrees and it works great now.


but thanks heaps for your help/input, as always is appreciated  :applaud:
cheers guys :cheers:
