rooterman:

I think you need to get the usb interface for trackballs from Happ.

BobA:

You do not need anything from happ.  Just your regular arcade trackball and the minipac which has the interface.  The interface is only active when plugged in via a USB cable to your PC.



rooterman:

He said he doesn't have the mini-pac with the trackball interface. There are two versions, one with, and one without. Personally I have the one with.

BobA:

I don't know of a minipac without the interface.  As far as I know it is all a matter of the cabling. That is the point I was trying to make.  Maybe Andy could clarify for us.

 

BobA:

From the Ultimarc website Minipac page,

"Trackball/Spinner Functionality
In USB mode only. No extra PC connections are needed, all communications go through one USB cable. Inputs for one 2-axis device (trackball) and one single-axis device (spinner). The active control is auto-selected when one control is moved after a 10 second idle period. If trackball/spinner are used, USB mode must be used for all controls. The full wiring harness for 28 switches and optical controls is available in two versions, for either Happ or Ultimarc trackball.
