Ultimarc U-Trak and SpinTrak help connecting to U-HID Nano
« on: April 24, 2015, 04:37:48 am »
Hi all - hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have the above from Ultimarc, and I didn't buy the USB versions - I am now trying to connect them to U-HID Nano to give me the USB connections i need. However i don't know which pins to connect to on the U-HID. Can someone help? And also do i need to add a ground pin for these too?
Thanks in advance!

We could have supplied the USB interfaces for these devices as an upgrade.

They can be connected to the U-HID but the connectors would need to be reworked. The two signal pins on a U-HID are opposite each other rather than being next to each other. You would need to use the U-Config program to set up three optical axes, and 2 5 volt pins.

You would need to splice together the grounds. Its not totally straightforward.

Thanks for coming back to me Andy.

I have now managed to relocate my IPAC Ultimate so that i can connect the U-Trak directly to the board, so would just need a upgrade for USB for the SpinTrak. Can you PM me the link to this product in your store so i can order along with a few other pieces I need pls?

thanks again for your help.
