| Adding LED to slikstik trackball... |
| (1/1) |
| PhoneLine:
Hi all, I have a slikstik quad on my cabinet and the trackball is not backlit. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to install that? Do I just have to get a led and install it? And if so, does the led get powered from the IPAC on the quad? Just wondering what I would need to get as far as the LED goes. Thinking it might be nice to wire it up so its lit. Thanks for any info anyone can offer. James |

if the 5v line on the IPAC isn't used, you can use that to light the LED. Otherwise, you can tap into a molex connector from your PC power supply. As far as parts... all you need is the LED and the correct resistor for whatever voltage you'll be using. Edit: You could also just get one of those LED cannons that work with a USB plug and just use that. It'll be a few bucks more than if you do it yourself, but you can install it in 20 seconds. |
