: Read Tom A.'s post. You can also use the Optipac+ : : 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. : : Zz : : : 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. : : : : http://www.happcontrols.com/amusement/trackballs/55022600.htm : : : : 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. : : : : http://www.happcontrols.com/amusement/pushbutts/5891xxl.htm : : : : 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. : : : : Z
