Opti-Wiz Wiring Help
Vicious Burger:
Got my Opti-Wiz to connect my Happ trackball via the interface cable,but no documentation came with it to say which pins the plugs attach to,nor can I find any of this info on Groovy Game Gear's website. I've taken close-up pics of the opti wiz and the plugs with their markings,so can someone tell me which plugs go on which pins please,as there are 10 pins (A to J) but only three 2-pin plugs on the interface cable. See the pics below ......
RandyT:
Flip over the plugs..... Then look at the Opti-Wiz Docs. :)
Did we miss marking these?

Nope,no docs came with it,like I mentioned above !!! I looked at the other side of the plugs,and to the naked eye there is nothing visible,not that i could tell anyway,so just for giggles i took a macro pic of it,and x and y magically appeared on 2 of them. Still does not tell me where they plug in though. I guess I need to get docs from somewhere.
RandyT:
Hmmm....you should have received a copy. I'll have to remind the person packing to make sure they put in a copy of the spiffy doc sheet with these. It's been very busy, so it probably was overlooked.
One of those connectors should also have a red mark to indicate the 5v connection. If not, it's the one with the arrow on the unmarked connector. That one goes on the 5v connection. The other two are as follows;
X = A/B
Y = C/D
Normally, these go Arrow => A and C, but you can flip them to reverse the axes if necessary.
Let me know if you need any other assistance.
