Spinner Problem - Left Only

<< < (2/2)

milhouse:
Its not backspin - it happens no matter how slow it is spun.  Its jut weir because it was working 3 hours ago.  I am guessing a wire is crossed but I was hoping that I could find out exactly where to look.  Apparently it could be anything.

Thanks

I don't mean to dig up an old thread but this is the same problem I'm having.

Optipac, Windows XP.

I'm having the same problem with a trackball.  Player one trackball does this exact thing.  No Y movement only left X movement.  Trackball 2 works great.  I also have two spinners and two optical rotary joys hooked up.  

Both spinners work great (Player 1 and 2 Y) but NEITHER of the rotary joys work (Player 1 and 2 X).

All equipment is brand new and never been used (but did sit in the garage for a couple of months in wrap).

I was wondering if you ever figured out what the problem was or if anyone else has any solutions?

***************UPDATE*******************
Trackball issue fixed.  +5V wire had slipped out from the power block.

Optical rotary issue was I had gotten the WRONG pinout from some thread but found the correct one.  Unfortunately this had GND and +5V swapped!  I fixed the wiring but now the rotarys only move the cursor left.  Am I screwed?  Will swapping the GND and power kill the optical board on the Happ rotary joys? If so where can I order replacement optical boards for the optical rotary joysticks?
