Help with Spintrac Minor Connection Problem
<< < (2/2)
turnergw:
I recently had a similar problem with the SpinTrak - Andy helpfully sent me the connector with another order, but even so, the wiring didn't match the MiniPac inputs.

Much like mlalena, I had to rewire the SpinTrak, but the power wires were the opposite way around to his diagram, so the wiring seems to be a bit inconsistent on these!

For what it's worth, on my MiniPac at least, the wiring diagram shown on the Ultimarc site is wrong - the power connections for the spinner are the same as for the trackball (pins 2 and 3, not 1 and 4 as shown in the diagram)

It took a bit of fiddling, but I've now got a SpinTrak and a U-Trak trackball hooked up to the MiniPac and working fine.  This was after several frustrating issues of the Trackball Y-axis being the wrong way round, the Spinner not working at all, or only moving slowly left ... but with the right wiring, all was well.

Good luck with yours!

Well, after a snag with a " cable problem" I think I am back in business. Everything seems to be working now except the spintrak. I'm pretty sure that it is a wiring issue, so I am waiting for a reply from Andy about it. Anyone know for sure which colored wire connects to which with the newest mini-pacs? This is the last problem to overcome, so I'm getting there slowly but surely.
