Connect a 2 1/4" Ultimarc trackball to a Mini-PAC using a Happ harness? :)
dekar24k:
Hi guys! I've been working on my bartop cabinet for quite a while now and the only thing preventing me from finishing it is my control panel. I ordered the wrong harness along with the Mini-PAC (got the Happ trackball harness instead of the Ultimarc trackball harness) so I backordered the correct one but it's been 3 weeks now (shipped by air mail, takes ages). The harness didn't arrive by mail today either, so now I am really stuck here, as the postal service is closed until after Easter (next Tuesday).
Ok, so I do have a Mini-Pac, a Mini-Pac harness (for Happ trackballs) and an Ultimarc trackball here. Therefore I was wondering if any of you guys know of a way to connect the Ultimarc trackball on to the Mini-Pac using the Mini-Pac Happ harness? :) I'm so desperate after finishing my bartop cabinet now that I'll do anything to get it finished.
Hoping for some ideas here. If it's "impossible" then I'll have to wait, but I hope there is some way it can still work. I don't see why it shouldn't be possible. :)c

Those guides are great indeed, but I'm way too newb to figure out how to connect the Ultimarc trackball to the small pins on the Mini-PAC interface. :( So, it's possible? :)
mayhem:
yes there are sevral ways of doing it.
The best would be to use a IDE cable to make one. you can cut it to lenth.
The guides were written for noobs in mind but allso giveing enuogh details for pros.
You can buy the connectors and make you own. its up to you how to do it but the ide is the easy option.
Or you can Un pic you wrong version and re wire to the new version. Do this by putting a pin the the holes and pushing the connector out and then replacing it were you need it to be as per the diagrams.....
mayhem:
another way but this may be above and beyound your self is to unsolder and pull the pins and solder direcly into the PCB you own wires ....
do not use more than a 15 watt soldering iron to do it else youll burn the trace.
