Ed ONeill:

HELP !!
Ok I made a spinner but got in trouble and broke the left/right axis led off the board.

So I was wondering if I can switch the left/right axis  with up/down axis by changing the wiring

Here is the wiring harness from left to right

Black (thick) ground, it's connected to a copper stand
Red.... I am assuming power
orange
black (thin)
yellow
brown

Can anyone can help me with the wiring order before I cut and start  switching wires around.

Thanks
ED

After doing some more reading ..

I found that this CAN'T be done.

The wiring on a mouse is more complex than I thought.

Damn...Time to find another mopuse to hack...LOL

You COULD wire the spinner to the Mouse Up/Down axis and then use NoNameMAME or MAME Analog Plus to change the mouse axis used for your games.  Probably simpler to start over, though  :P

Tiger-Heli ...thanks I started over and got it working!

Well sort of..... I am not sure what is going on If I spin the spinner clockwise  it actually moves in the opposite direction .

Example if I play tempest and turn the spinner clock wise I am actually moving counter clockwise .BTW I tried using the joystick and that is opposite as well.

Any suggestions or is this how a spinner actually works...:-[  I don't remember it's been so long since I've played the game. :'(

That's not how it works -

Easy suggestion - MAME Tab Menu - Analog settings - Dial Revese - ON, but you need to set this individually for all spinner games, AFAIK.

More difficult suggestion - Flip your optic boards 180 degrees or swap the two signal wires to the mouse hack.
