Tron Spinner work with an Opti-Pac ?

BUCKETHEAD:
Just curious will an original TRON spinner work with an Opti-Pac ?

If so?

Anyone ever did it ?

And can share how to wire it up correctly ?

Thanks!

It's not clear to me from reading that thread that a tron spinner has successfully been hooked up to an optipac using that midway board hack. Maybe I misread, but it seems like the hacked boards were hooked up to a mouse.

Has anyone actually done that exact hack and hooked it to an optipac? Buckethead, have you tried this yet? I'd like to try simply because I don't know how easy it would be to mount one of fixumdude's optical boards to the tron spinner.

I tried it.

I got the LED's to light up on the old midway optical board.

But when i hooked it to the Opti-Pac, i couldn't get it to do anything?

Not sure if i was not doing something right or not?

But i do know the LED's had power. I could see them glowing thru my cell phone.

I just pulled the optical encoder from a trackball i had.

And went with that. Works great !

See thread.

I have one of fixumdude's boards in my Tron spinner.  NOTHING was easier than popping that in, plugging it in to the Optipac, and playing.  It was very simple to do.
