Happ Trackball from Slikstik - Horiz only?

(1/3) > >>

So after about 6 months I finally got my Slikstik C02 a few months ago.  However from Day 1 the trackball only works left to right, no vertical at all.

I talked to Paul at slikstik about it over emails and he said I needed a new PCB to fix the problem, and that they would send one to me.

Great!

Well months later, still no PCB and my trackball still doesnt work.

It seemed like this was a common problem when talking to slikstik

Does anyone know if the "Red Board" I see on Happ for $12 is the part that I need to fix my trackball?

I opened it up and checked all the connections and everything looked good, but Im somewhat of an electronics noob (hence ordering the controls and not building mine own).

Slikstik has since stopped returning my emails, and I fear with the other news I read on here, they will never get back to me, but I need a working trackball!

Any help would be much appreciated.

If the trackball in question is a HAPP with USB connector, then I believe that you CAN'T use the red boards (last Happ USB kit I got had me swap the red boards out for the USB interface).

Things may have changed, but better safe ... although it seems like you're already sorry.

FWIW, maybe Divemaster or Ponyboy can help you wrt the interface boards.

It is USB.  Does that mean I have to replace the interface (Turn it to serial) completely?  Or is there a usable USB solution to get it working?  How would I go about checking?

Divemaster, If I knew what I needed to fix my problem I would be more than happy to go through you for my purchase.

CheffoJeffo:
I can't really say, so was only presuming that SlikStik's assessment was correct (and it may be completely wrong, but since they seemed to have an issue with optic boards, perhaps they are correct).

DM will know better than I, but I believe that you would need to replace the "Y axis" optic board with a matching part. I do not believe that the red boards are the matching part, but am certain that DM knows and undoubtedly can get it for you.
