Spinner resolution and Revenge of DOH
SlikStik Christian:
Hey RandyT,
Just an FYI, The new SpinTrak Controller which is a joint venture new product between Ultimarc & SlikStik has already met that benchmark. It has been designed to and delivers a 250 ampeture rate at one complete rotation. It can easily handle DOH and Arkanoid no problem and is the highest resolution spinner ever manufactured.
There hasn’t been an official announcement as of yet, but this can be considered as one. It is now available on the Ultimarc website and will soon be available on the SlikStik website as well.
Features:
• Two modes of operation:
• Can be used as a lightweight Super High Resolution Low-Inertia Trackwheel control as used in "Arkanoid"
• Can also be used as a spinner with the addition of one of two sizes of fly-weight to provide inertia giving long spin-times
• The highest-resolution rotary control ever produced for arcade gaming use.
• Comes with optional choice of Spinner Tops made by SlikStik which are the same design and quality of the renowned SlikStik Tornado Spinner.
• Resolution of 1000 transitions per revolution makes this the only control ever to match the Arkanoid Trackwheel without noisy gearing.
• Precision dual-graticule optics as used on industrial shaft-encoders. Uses two etched Mylar optical grids.
• Sealed unit to prevent dust ingress to maintain precision accuracy.
• Dual sealed ball-bearing races give the ultimate in smooth control.
• One-Piece bearing housing/faceplate CNC machined from a solid alloy billet
• Available in two versions, for direct connection to USB, or for connection to our Opti-PAC or Mini-PAC interfaces.
• Usage not limited to gaming! Also suitable for precision control applications, CNC interfacing and other rotary measurement applications.
In addition it has a very small 2" X 2" installation footprint, can be fitted with 2 different size flyweights for different inertia and spin times, and uses a special version of SlikStik spinner tops.

Hey Christian,
Didn't you state publicly that resolution wasn't important?
Just curious, how do you adjust that for different thickness panels? No offense, but I am holding something in my hand that will be making spinner manufacturers need to update the claims on their websites ;)
Should be out in about a week.

SlikStik Christian:
RandyT,
No, just your previous claims of probable features. The shaft is set for 3/4" wood installation. Cant wait to see what you come out with.
Hey by the way, what ever happened to that rendering of that token spinner top you posted some months ago that never came to pass?

This thing looks nice! Looks just like a skateboard wheel bearing at the base. If it is I'm getting this spinner as I will have plenty of replacements!
