Title: Is there any way to light an LED using a MiniPac?
Post by: megamoze on September 04, 2015, 07:03:19 pm

Specifically I have the MiniPac with the spinner and trackball controllers, both of which are hooked up to a U-trak and spinner.

And if not, is there any way to power it without getting another controller?  I don't need it to blink or anything, just a nice steady light.

If you just want to power an LED, just wire it up to the power supply.  Pull +5v from one of the molex.  You just need a resistor and you are good.

+1 on the molex.

You can also hack a USB cable to make a power tap or get a pre-fabbed one here (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78&products_id=299) from GGG.
