  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Which spinners and trackballs are supported by Mini-pac wiring harness?
« on: October 03, 2005, 12:56:52 am »
Hello everyone,

I have decided to go with the Mini-PAC for my 2 player cab and am now trying to nail down which spinner and trackball to use.  I want a 3" trackball, so as far as I can tell the only option is the Happs 3" trackball?  Also, I could not find any information on the mini-PAC info page about which spinners are supported with the included wiring harness?

Thanks for your help and tips!

Cheers,
Tom

Any arcade trackball or spinner should work. They're all basically the same.

1 5v connection per axis
1 ground connection per axis
1 x
1 y

A trackball has 2 harnesses of 4 wires each (totalling 8 connections)
A spinner has 1 harness of 4 wires.

These units are internchangeable, and there isn't any specific support required to work with the minipac.
