Spinner Problem - Left Only
(1/2) > >>
milhouse:
I'm having an intermittent problem with my spinner (Oscar) and Optipac.  For some reason, the cursor (in Windows) only turns left.  Turning it left makes the mouse scroll left, but turning it right also makes the mouse scroll left (though not as smoothly).  I've had the problem before and it cleared up by itself but its acting up again.  I'd like to know what causes it and how I can fix it.

Thanks

I had a similar experience using a mouse hack to hook my spinner electronics to a mouse. I got some input in this thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=76635.0, but I got the impression that it would go away once I get a real encoder. I'm very interested in what you discover and how you solve your problem.
SirPeale:
Could be a bunch of things.  The encoder PCB on the spinner could have a faulty sensor.  You could have a loose connection.
DeLuSioNal29:
How fast are you spinning it?  Could be backspin perhaps?
Dazz:
My Oscar Spinner using an Opti-Pac is doing the same thing and has been for a long while now..  I can't even recall the last time I was able to use my spinner on anything.  I was thinking about replacing the encoder on the spinner, but don't know where to get one now that Oscar is gone. :(
