In Reply to: Internal wiring for spinner USB mouse hack. Possible? posted by JustinT on 22, 2000 at 11:52 AM:
unless the Ipac has hub circuitry(which I doubt), you cannot hook a usb mouse into an Ipac. If you want to have just one cable comming out of your console, buy a usb hub for $15-20, then you can have up to four usb devices in it.
: Here's the scenario:
: Im building a controller (2 joys, 10 buttons) with an I-PAC controller, via USB mode (on a Mac).
: I intend to add a spinner later, with USB mouse guts.
: I know for a fact, that if I add the mouse to the USB chain (through any of the externally free USB connectors on my computer) it will work in conjunction with the I-PAC. But I want to have it nicely integrated within my console.
: I wonder if anyone has tried/documented the internal wiring needed to get a single USB cable out of the box. (in other word, route the mouse USB wiring through the I-PAC wiring). Perhaps I simply need to wire through the I-PAC somehow... but I am clueless!
: Someone help, please?
