1. You'll have to use Optimame for your configuration.

2. The piece you are calling a 'flywheel' is actually an encoder wheel. Just FYI

3. What interface are you using? If you are going to try to use the optical sensor on the wheel and wire it to the mouse, I'm told that this won't work. I talked with TwistyGrip about this a while back and they are electrically incompatible with additional circuitry.

: Okay, now how do I actually wire my dual wheel panel? The wheels are attached to a flywheel passing between the two optical sensors on the circuit board. Should I just solder directly from those sensors to the ones on a mouse? This seems to be the most logical solution.
