need help with my minipac

<< < (2/4) > >>

markrvp:
You're wiring seems to be correct. 

Troubleshooting:

1.)  Verify that when you plug the minipac in via USB that it shows up in Windows-Control Panel-System-Hardware-Device Manager.

2.)  Use a regular mouse to position the pointer and then check to see if the microswitches connected to the mouse button inputs work.

3.)  Use a voltmeter to verify that you are getting 5v out of the Minipac.

4.)  Use a voltmeter to verify that you are getting 5v to the trackball encoders.

l verified it in windows device manager- it comes up as Hid keyboard and under mouses as HID mouse.
l seems probably that theres no power to the trackball., but l havent a multimeter to test it . what else can l do?

markrvp:
Well, the computer sees it okay then, so it must be a wiring issue.  Without a multimeter I don't know what to tell you.

You can try a 6v light connected to the +5v and ground for the trackball and see if it lights up.  That would verify that you are getting power through the minipac.

Did the mouse buttons work?

rockmes:
na, and l have even pull the wire of the harness and connected them directly to the minipac. Did you check the photo l posted to see if there is something. Thanks heaps for your help

markrvp:
Everything in the photos looks good.  I'm all out of ideas.  Contact Andy at Ultimarc.
