need help with my minipac
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

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