Arkanoid + Mouse Hack
SirPoonga:
It's 5 wires because it is ps/2
Use a continuity tester (multimeters have one) to figure out which is ground and 5v.

Wait, here's your mouse taken apart.

That hack is the other technique, replacing the receiver with wires. One pin is ground, the other two are the data pins. You just need one axis, remember.
Svaroh:
wow, you're fast.
is one method easier/better than the other?
Svaroh:
so this is what im thinking...
the spinner has 4 wires, Red, Black, Yellow and Blue. From what i gather from the two tutorials this ought to work...

of course it is 2:30 am and im a bit green at this :P
is my reasoning incredibly flawed?

They are both doing the same thing for the most part. If you follow the the traces from the IR parts they will, most likely, go directly to the chip.

Pins 1 and 2 are for the osc crystal, according to the datasheet. The datasheet for this chip sorta sucks. If you go by the hand written schematic that dude has then you need pins 11 and 12?
You power and ground might not be right either :(
Hmmm, this chip's datasheet is not that great :( That hand written schematic is ok but there are some confusing parts.
Can you take a picture of the circuit side of the board? We'll do a combination of two techniques. If you trace pin 14 to the ground wire on the ps/2 cable and pin 15, after it goes through a resistor, to the power on the ps/2 cable.
Same for the x axis receiver. You can trace the pin form the ir receiver to the chip to determine which pins you need.
Svaroh:
heres the pics of the other side (thank goodness i bought my wife a digital camera for christmas) the first pic is as is, and the second pic i flopped in photoshop so it'd be less confusing to me, it's more like an overlay now so it can be compared to the other side without confusing me :P

thanks so much for the help
