| Optipac behaving funny, gives the pointer the jitters when trackball is moved |
| (1/2) > >> |

I have an OptiPac that when plugged in with the Ipac (the Ipac works perfectly that I can tell), the Ipac stops working (I want to verify this a third time though), and the windows mouse cursor just twitches and moves kinda left and up, but not normal movement, really really really slowly and very jittery. Both optipac and ipac are USB devices I've removed my trackball from the Optipac and just left my spinner, same thing, I've removed my spinner and left my trackball, same thing, I've even taken my trackball apart so I can try and move the indivual rollers, same thing. Spinner encoder board is a Happ board (tried an original tempest encoder, same thing) and the trackball is a 3" happ as well. Any ideas? Please don't say that my optipac is bad, I've just gone through returning a bad arcade VGA card and I don't want to have to go through that again with the optipac :-( thanks all! |

Have you checked all your wire connections and USB connections for proper security?? I had the same problem with my spinner when I installed it and found that a ground wire was not touching the terminal very well. As a result I was getting the same thing lots of twitching and strange movements. |

yup, everything is securely attached to the Optipac. I even unwired the trackball and spinner, and tried them one at a time to see if that helped.... it didn't :-( The whole project has been fighting me tooth and nail... I wish I knew why :-( |

Did you try disconnecting the i-pac from the computer and try the optipac alone? No chance you're doing something silly like connecting the serial power cable to the i-pac and optipac (not needed in usb mode)? |

Yup I did try that last thing last night. Still no dice ;-( I'm sure it is something silly, but not the serial power, I don't have the power adapter just the 9-pinDB to USB connector that came with the Optipac. I'll take any suggestions to heart and try them out when I get home tonight. |
