Does anyone know how to wire this spinner up. I have a small PCB board with two rows of pins. The bottom row has four pins and the top row has three. I presume the bottom row is for the connector from the Spintrak to plug into. I do not, however, know which is the right way up. Additionally, I assume the top three pins are for the spinner buttons. Do I just solder a wire to each of these top pins to a corresponding button?
Thanks
John

I've always connected the SpinTrak to the Mini-PAC. But from the Ultimarc page, when you use the USB board, it looks like the SpinTrak connects to the top row and you connect mouse buttons to the bottom row (nearest the board)

I don't know if the board tells you the connections, but it's written on the plastic cover on the SpinTrak, so you should be able to work the orientation out from there tracing the ground connection.

Ah yes. Never even noticed that. Good eye. The mouse buttons are labelled too.
