happ trackball question

<< < (2/3) > >>

paigeoliver:
The green thing is a different ground. Run it to your cabinet ground strap, or to your metal control panel and monitor frame if you don't have a cabinet ground strap.

It is there to get rid of static electricity.

muell67:
thanks

paigeoliver:
If you have neither one of those, then run the sucker to the coin door or the third prong of the power outlet.

Matt Berry:
Just so nobody has an accident connecting the green (earth) ground to a power strip, make sure you are connecting the green wire to a greenish colored screw on the outlet. The gold screw is for hot (Zap  :o ) typically black wire and the silver screw is neutral (still has potential to carry a load) which is the white wire.

ekans:
Yes I figured the green wires were the grounds too. Thanks for the info Matt, that could have been hari raising!  ::)

muell67, you say that you have the illumination source with yours, you just have to add 12v?

I have just received the same trackball but thought I had to add a little clip on LED or other light to get it to light up. Did yours come with a light? My ball is translucent, but I could not find any light source with it.
