Title: Wiring Happ Trackball to MiniPAC
Post by: nickf21 on May 13, 2008, 09:35:33 am

hi guys,
long time stalker - first time poster... did a search on this and couldnt find anything so i hope someone can help...

imtrying to wire a Happ trackball to a MiniPac. i dont know if i got the wrong version of the MiniPAC (as i think there is one that plugs directly into the trackball) but my connections are diiferent.

it looks like i will have to cut the plug off the MiniPac and the plug off the trackball and connect the wires myself - BUT i dont know which wires to connect together...

and i think there are too many wires from the MiniPac so - im getting confused.
am i missing something or is there some kind of adapter i can pick up that will make the plugs simply connect.

thanks for any advice...
nick

The wiring instructions for the Mini-Pac are on Ultimarc's website (http://www.ultimarc.com/mp_inst.html). There is additional information about the trackball's wires here (http://www.ultimarc.com/optipac3.html).
