TurboTwist Push-Pull Arcade Spinner Control HELP
-
Anyone ever install/config GroovygameGear's TurboTwist Push-Pull Arcade Spinner Control? I am using two of them. One is a master and the other a slave. There is just no documentation though. I got the spinner to work but cant figure out how to get the push-pull to work. Any suggestions? Not sure if its a connection issue or configuration issue.

@zanefielding I'd be interested to know as I'm sure you are looking to use these for forgotten worlds or discs of tron etc

@Romstar Yup, for forgotten worlds. Its driving me nuts.

After careful review, it looks like I ordered two masters. BUT i did get the push/pull to work. However, a new issue popped. Player 1 works beautifully but when I add player 2, the spinner controls player 1 as well. The push/pull works independatly for each player but i cant figure out why player 2 is controlling player 1. They are are on separate boards and separate USB inputs.
Originally, in advmame, I had :
input_map[p1_dialx] mouse[0,x] mouse[1,x] mouse[2,x] mouse[3,x]
Then for troubleshooting, I added :
input_map[p2_dialx] mouse[0,y] mouse[1,y] mouse[2,y] mouse[3,y]I even tried :
input_map[p2_dialx] mouse[0,x] mouse[1,x] mouse[2,x] mouse[3,x]
it makes no sense. I had them both working. Turned off machine, and then is started this nonsense.

@Markdonnell1975 I just ordered one myself, so I'm curious to the progress on this. (I just got 1 (Master) but I can't find any documents or tutorials on installing and configuring this. Your comment of lack of instructions with your order makes me nervous.

@curtishart001 I just finished my Mad Planets cab which has Tron style controls with the push pull spinner from GGG. Setup was easy, I didnt even have to mess with the .rc file (I run advmame 1.4).
The push pull switches are on a connector with the two grounds on one pin. There is also a disconnect wire on one of the pins. I took the wires out of the connector and wired them into an ipac (SW4 and 5) then put a blade disconnect on the two grounds and plugged them into my ground daisy. Super easy. There were instructions with my order from GGG but I didn't need them.
For your panel its going to want to recess in, I think i made a 1" hole then used a rabbet bit on my lam trimmer to make the recess and it was a perfect fit. I can give you more tips for installing it, let me know.
You'll want to check out a game call Zwakery which along with Discs of Tron are the only two games to use a push pull that I know of. I assume you got the push pull for Discs of Tron, if so let me know because I had do a few things to get the voice to play and the backdrop art to show up.

@wstanek can you please help me? My wires for the 4 pin connector for the turbo twist push pull spinner (the one for the mouse button or push and pull) pulled out of the housing for the connector. I don't understand which wires go where... could you pretty pretty please post a picture of the wires going into the 4-pin connector? I would very much appreciate your help if this is something you could do.
