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.
