| Ordering Mini-Pac - Question about options |
| (1/1) |
| cmoses:
I am ready to order my control interface and have decided on the Mini-Pac from Ultimarc. I like that it comes with a wiring harness as I think that will make it very easy to hook up. My question is since I do not know what trackball I am going to go with yet, either the U-Trak or the Electric Ice-T. Should I order it without the Opti connectors on it? There is a price difference of $23 if I just order the one for the joysticks and switches. If I go with the U-Trak it would work with the Mini-Pac with the opti built in, I am not sure that the Electric Ice-T will. In either case I can order the USB connection for the tracball and not go through the Mini-Pac. I was just curious as to any thought on this. What is considered the better option? Should I wait to order the Mini-Pac until I have decided on the trackball I am going with? |

Yea. Prolly in your pockets best interest to figure out what you want before ordering it. Seems kind of obvious. |

All optic devices like spinners and trackballs have very similar optical read-out of the "gearingwheel". Most work on 5 volt and have some opto-coupler in the design. Guess you can hookup most of them to the minipac-opti with some custom wiring. |

After using the U-trak I'd say go for the opti-wiring harness as it makes later connectivity easy. Plus, other trackballs areeasily connected including the Happ ball, if that's your flavour. My advice is to for the U-trak though; it's a great ball. |
