hey there - got everything else wired up and working, except the trackball (which now doesn't work).  Anyone go down this road before?

Check your connections.
- The Mini-Pac optical harness has three optical input connectors.
- Make sure you are on the trackball connectors and that they are facing the right way. (red 5v to red 5v, black GND to black GND)
- The trackball and spinner connectors have a different pin order.   :banghead:

Thanks - I got it working!  good tip - of course none of the colors u-trac colors lined up, I had to poke around a bit and trace some lines.

Except now none of group J4 is working.  Not one.  And when I connect the devices to other groups - it works fine.

Edit: I fixed it by going in and manually setting the keys - they were soft-disabled.  Must have disabled them in a fugue state?
