Do I have a problem with my Opti-wiz?
(By the way, if this is all covered in the documentation I apologise; I cant Read The F.M. for the Opti-wiz because I can't find one online, and wasn't provided any paperwork with the spinner by my Local Aussie GGG Reseller.)
I've just wired an Ultimarc 2.25" trackball to the Opti-wiz stuck alongside my TurboTwist (version 1).
I've altered the spinner from X to Z axis, and once plugged in (USB), shows up as a HID mouse and behaves just like a scrollwheel. But nothing from the trackball.
I found
this page which is actually troubleshooting for the Opti-
pac, but had some multimeter-related suggestions at the very bottom which I tried on the Opti-wiz.
I am getting 5.06V between both sets of "G, +5" pins, and a variable voltage from around 0.5V to 5V (depending on the position of the spinner) between G and ZA or ZB, just like the Opti-pac help indicated. But nothing on the X or Y axes. Should there be
something across G and XA , etc?
In case I'm barking completely up the wrong tree, here's how I've wired the trackball to the Opti-wiz. Anything stupid in there I've missed?
Any advice very welcome.
