Help with Oscar Controls Spinner/Optipac
tgraham:
I have already tested to that level; no luck so far.
I don't think the spinner is being seen at all on the input as when I go back and try the trackball again there isn't the normal 5 second delay of activation (switching between the two).
I have re-run wiring to the spinner and again checked continuity to make sure everything was connected and nothing crossed.
At this point, I can think of two tests to perform, and have questions on how to perform both:
1) Check the encoders on the Spinner board. Is there a simple procedure for this?
2) Try to connect the spinner to the second rotary input on the Optipac board. I haven't read the docs yet, but is there a way in Windows to monitor this input? Will it be on the mouse Y axis?

Another followup, in looking at the Optipac I also tried switching the spinner inputs to Y1/Y2 on player 1 with no change (that answers my Y axis question). I have not tried switching to the player two inputs.
I also completely disconnected the trackball to make sure it wasn't somehow interfering with the system, but again, no change.
