So what is the standard trackball pinout for a happ trackball? LIke the y-dir, y-clk, x-dir, and x-clk, and the grounds? Hawk |
| Stobe:
Not a pinout, but a "wire-out" at least: Left/Right Up/Down 1) Output - A (Blue Wire) 1) Output - A (Green Wire) 2) +5V (Red Wire) 2) +5V (Red Wire) 3) GND (Black Wire) 3) GND (Black Wire) 4) Output - B (Yellow Wire) 4) Output - B (Orange Wire) The six pins should corelate to the 4 signals plus +5V and Ground (being split to the 2 optic boards) And here's the pin numbers: PIN WIRE #1 – Black 1 Yellow + 12 Volts DC PIN WIRE #1 - Red PIN WIRE #2 – Red 2 Black Ground PIN WIRE #2 - Yellow PIN WIRE #3 – Yellow 3 Red + 5 Volts DC PIN WIRE #3 - Green PIN WIRE #4 – Green 4 Black Ground PIN WIRE #5 - Blue PIN WIRE #5 – Blue PIN WIRE #4 - Purple PIN WIRE #6 – Purple Hope that makes sense. -Stobe |

IOW, "Output A" in Stobe's answer is one of the two sensors for that axis and Output B is the other sensor, and each channel outputs whether the sensor is seeing a gap or not. The Optipac, Optiwiz, or hacked mouse board these are connected to is what converts the quadrature signal to amount (and direction) and sends that to the computer. |

Well it's not going to a computer, its going to a multiboard. Thats why I was asking. And the manual that came with the board has those as what wires it needs to be. Hawk. |

I am interested in finding out this info as well...I am going to hook a centipede TB to a multiboard...the multigame board uses the JAMMA harness. How do I hook it up...am I going to need to get an Optipac or something or can I wire the TB directly to the JAMMA harness? |
