PAC-DRIVEs can be stateful.  Meaning, if you don't have something telling it to "turn off", it stays on so long as there is power to it. 

On my driving cab, I specifically have to make sure LEDBlinky "turns off the lights" before I shut the cabinet (computer) down, otherwise they'll stay on all the time - due to having constant power. 

Whoa! That guy knows his stuff about light-guns 

Great idea with the website, good luck! 

Also, check out arcade auctions in your area.  You might get a good deal on an original non-working cab.

If you build a 4 player cab, heed the pic in my signature.  Saint (author of that book and owner of this website), as much as we love him..... got it wrong when he depicted them angled, as do all the people selling impressive looking hundred thousand game rgb laden cabs.  I bought that book and passed it along to a new member here, but not before correcting those pages.   

Is this is a fork of Boomslangnz FFBplugin? 

Wondering if anyone else has tackled this 'problem'. 

I'm finally getting back to working on my cabinets after a long break, and I'm finding it a bit troublesome to 'inform' the user (me most of the time) how the wheel needs to be configured before the game starts.   270 degree, 360 degree...   FFB on/off...    pedals combined or separate...   shifter setup (H pattern vs sequential)...   any special button mapping (aka - spy hunter controls). 

I'm using Fanatec gear for both of my cabs, and it doesn't have any command line options (booo).   For all of the Logitech G27 faults, they did a good job on the software game profile system side of things. 

I was thinking about making a loading screen (per game?!  argh...  lots of work) AHK script with a message that tells the user (again, me most of the time) how to setup the controls before the game starts or something like that.  Maybe do some AI image generation (go go slop factory) to speed things up.

Anyone else tackled this?   Have any ideas?

Exactly, so my goal is to create a simple webpage where everything about the two boards (Optigun/USB2GUN) can be found, all the manuals, software and documentation in one place. Most of it is available online but all in different places that require hours of searching to find! :/
I'll start by posting this link which is informative just because it shows how this guy got the calibration to work.
BTW, he shows a screenshot of this site showing a post of your's Jollywest about how to get the board working! LOL

It lives in an LAI pedestal cabinet and the tag says 38". Let me know if there are better photos I should get or where to look for the model number.

Thanks for confirming that I'm not alone with having this issue with this model of trackball.  The bearings and rollers are in great shape so it is not that. In response to the comment that the video I posted doesn't make any sense, some further explanation:

In the first video where I show the issue from the top, it does appear that the trackball is going down into the cabinet, but just the opposite is happening: It is actually riding slightly upward toward toward the camera as it rides up on the rollers and then collides with the top of the housing.

In the second video, my control panel is removed from the cabinet and is face down.  The trackball housing is disconnected, but it is 180 degrees to how it is normally mounted in the cabinet.  (had to do that to get to sit flat while not disconnecting the wiring). 

When I took the video, I had wondered if this might cause confusion and I even considered mirroring the video so it would match the installed orientation.  Probably should have done that...

Thanks all! Guess I'll be researching new trackball options.
