Fultra,

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Yes, I had seen your spinner. I said in my reply to jmarks comments my ideal controller that I build would be made up of "One Trackball, One spinner and three buttons". Can you recomend a controller that would support both your spinner, a track ball and three buttons?

I need to do some more reading on the sunject tonight.

Thanks again for your help.

: If you use part #:56-1100-00 then that is the right one...

: Sinc my spinners are Happ compatible, I get a lot of questions about interfacing. The above part # is correct - just make sure you don't confuse it with their USB game developer kit which looks a lot like that.

: : As a beginner in this area I'm looking for any help
: : or advice you may be able to give me.

: : I've wanted to start an Arcade project for some time now. Unfortunately I live in Bermuda and the market
: : for old Arcade Cabs to modify is nill. Building
: : from scratch is my only alternative. Before I embark
: : on this project, I thought about getting my feet wet
: : on a smaller controller project. I already own a HotRod so I was thinking of a Trackball or Spinner project.

: : I was thinking of one trackball and three buttons in the design. Over at Happ, I was looking at the following:

: : For the Interface, Happ offer this nice USB jobby. It
: : looks like it will meet my needs.

: : My question is - Will I be able to use the 4 1/2" ball
: : (part no. 55-0300-00) or does it only support the
: : 2 1/4" trackball (part no. 56-5500-10)

: : Another question is on the buttons. I'd like buttons
: : like those in the HotRod. These look to be same same.

: : I know these are questions I should be asking Happ.
: : But I am hoping someone else has looked at these before
: : and can save me from making an expensive mistake!

: : I would appreciate any advice you can give.

: : Thanks in advance.
