squirrellydw:

thanks, I got it to work, not that hard after all.

Donkey_Kong:

Wanting to hook 3 buttons to my electric ice trackball right now...How do you hook up to those tiny pins? I have like 18 gauge wire and it seems super thick compared to the pins, and saudering those seems difficult to say the least.



Squirrly, what gauge wire were you using?



Randy, isn't there a wire harness available for this?

Donkey_Kong:

Check the pic I attached. That wiring harness that hooks the TT2 to the opti-wiz would be perfect for wiring buttons to your Electric Ice or Turbo Twist 2, minus the part that plugs into the TT2.

Is there anything like this available? If not, what method do you recommend to a guy with really fat clumsy fingers?  :D

Please don't say soldering onto those little pins!?  :scared

squirrellydw:

I used a CD ROM audio cable and bought an extra pin to to put in since the CD audio cable had 3 but one was in the wrong place.  I bought it at a electronics store.  You could probably use a 5 volt adapter, the small kind that you use to connect fans if it has four pins

Donkey_Kong:

Appreciate that squirrellydw. Hopefully this is easy to find as good electronics stores are scarce in these parts. We do have a Radio Shack...think I would have any luck there? Best Buy?

Would really be nice if this was included with, or available as an add on for the opti-wiz? or if it were an easy point to solder to.
:dunno
