Guess what! I figured out how to make the other axis on the mouse used in Twisty Grips plans, another spinner! Only a soldering iron and another part from Radio Shack is needed! After I buy another mouse (I already had the mouse used in the plans, before Twisty released them. And I perfer it to remain my mouse), and another breadboard (The one I have is currently a 5-volt power supply).
What you'll need:
1 me to post the How-To (like I said after I get more parts)
2 Breadboard from RadioShack (I'll get back to you on which one)
3 To keep most of the parts left over from spinner one.
4 do NOT break any of the spokes on the wheel for spinner 2 (it will be in a different pos. to the opitcal sensor)
