Post a WTB in B/S/T ... maybe someone can tack a MiniPac on their next Ultimarc order.

Cheers

Searcher7:

I'm still in search of the next best option.

Thanks a lot.

If it's a missile command trackball it's essentially a Happs.

The Mini-pac wiring diagram is here - http://www.ultimarc.com/mp_inst.html but it doesn't specify any differences for the different types of trackballs.  I think it might be pull-up resistors, but you might want to confirm with Andy.

If you mean the pin headers on the board - They're 0.100 inch centers and you can cut a standard computer HD cable and run it to a terminal block or splice onto it.

Ok. I now have a couple of Mini-PAC PCBs.

I've noticed how thin the wires are in an IDE cable. Is it plausible to find some sort of extention header(a stand-alone IDE connector) where 20 gauge wires could be attached to each pin?

Thanks.

I don't think so, at least I've never seen one.
