Have I fried my Opti-pac??
(1/2) > >>
heinekenlvr:
I wired my opti-pac to a steering wheel using the appropriate hack. Everything was working fine for weeks until I diconnected everything today so I could install the hardware into my cabinet. Now, when I hook things back up, when I turn the wheel to the left or to the right, the pointer moves semi sporatically to the the left only. Have I fried the opti pac or have I done something else??
Droler:
Sounds like your optical encoder board, do you have a trackball or other controller with an encoder board you can hook up to test?
Turnarcades:
Check all your connections and your cabinet power supply. You may have a loose connection or a bad earth.

Ok, I checked my voltage coming off the optipac and it's 5v. I checked the voltage all the way down to the encoder and it reads 5v. I am using a Pole Position steering wheel again with the appropriate hack. I checked all of the connections and they seem tight. All of the solder points seem good. Everything was working fine until I started messing with things. What is a bad earth??
