Quick checklist
dcsgguy:
Hey all,
I'm sorry if this exists somewhere else but I couldn't find anything. Basically I am ready to build my CP and wire it up. My checklist of things to buy just for the CP and the wires include for a one person CP. If you all remember I am working with a Tempest Cab and it's control panel:
(2) Ultrastick 360 joysticks (2nd joystick is for Smash Tv, Robotrom, etc...)
(18) Happ Horitzontal pushbuttons
(1) 2 1/4" trackball
(1) Oscar M3 spinner
(1) Jpac interface
(1) Ipac interface
Is that all I need to get this thing wired up to the computer? Do I need to buy wire harnesses or something or do these items come with those? I'd like to buy everything in one shot.
Thanks for your time.

Somebody back this up for me, but couldn't he get a Mini-Pac to handle all of his encoding?
And to the original poster, have you checked out the Turbo Twist 2 spinner from GroovyGameGear?
dcsgguy:
I have not looked into that spinner. Why are you recommending that one. I also forgot about the minipac. Could it handle everything so I wouldn't have to buy 2 seperate encoders.
horseboy:
It doesn't sound like you are plugging into a jamma cab, so you don't need a Jpac. You don't mention an optical encoder in there, but you would need one to hook up the trackball and spinner. A minipac should do fine.

Not sure which trackball and spinner you're going with, but if it has a USB/PS2 connector (like say the groovy gamer spinner) you won't need the optical encoder.
