New to this, needs help with trackball
BobA:
Based on the 2 pics my analysis of the TB circuit is shown below. Maybe someone can take a look at it based on my assumptions or maybe someone has the real circuit diagram. The gnd and + are based on the electrolytic closest to the connector.
X1 and X2 would be Y1 and Y2 on the other board and the 1 and 2 could be switched around depending on the direction of rotation required.

It is a cool trackball, can't wait to get it working!
Thank you for the help, I appreciate you taking a look at it for me.
I confirmed your findings with Andy at Ultimarc and it looks like that's the information i needed to get it up and running.
All that is left is to buy an opti-pac and start playing!

once you get the gnd & 5v figured out, getting the x1/x2 stuff figured out is easy.

You tossed the wiring? You could have Ebay'd it.

Yea, in hindsight that was pretty stupid... could've put all the cabinet parts on ebay and probably recovered enough to pay for my i-pac and opti-pac boards. I'm definately learning from all the mistakes i'm making with this first cabinet. I'll know better next time.
