| How do I hook up my Oscar Spinner to an Opti-Wiz? |
| (1/1) |
| Dazz:
I think I might have purchased the wrong thing from GGG... My Oscar Spinner has been acting funny, so someone here mentioned getting the Opti-Wiz Spinner Interface from GGG. On the GGG product description it specifically states: "3rd Party Verified Device Compatibility List * Oscar™ Spinner Optic Board" How do I go about hooking these up? I've checked on the GGG site, but there doesn't seem to be any instructions anywhere. Below is a picture of what I have and what I'm trying to work with. Is there something that I am missing here? |

I can't quite read the board next to the pins on the oscar board. They look like (from top to bottom +5v, Gnd, 1, 2). The Opti-Wiz can handle three axes (three spinners, or a trackball and a spinner), vs. only one on the Oscar board (if I'm reading it right). These should be the same: Opti-Wiz board = Oscar board use either "G" = Gnd use either +5 = +5V Use one axis: For example ZA for 1 and ZB for 2. If the spinner is moving the wrong way, you need to swap ZA and ZB. |

how would I go about making the wiring harnesses? The Opti has a 10 pin, but the Oscar has 4. |

Search for "Molex" on these forums, you'll get many options, such as salvaging the parts from an old PC. If crimping and/or soldering isn't your thing, contact Groovy Game Gear, Randy might be able to make something custom up for you. |
