It looks like these are only for the arcade1up cabinets, it will not work with a real arcade PCBI received this PDF from GroovyGameGear about the TurboTwist 2 for arcade1up cabinets
I am no expert but I am curious if this would work for using it with an actual arcade board
Need some experts to way in on this
Why wouldn't the raw output work with a real arcade PCB?It looks like these are only for the arcade1up cabinets, it will not work with a real arcade PCB
That manual leaves a bit to be desired. The J2 PCB at the bottom, how does that interface to the actual spinner.Why wouldn't the raw output work with a real arcade PCB?It looks like these are only for the arcade1up cabinets, it will not work with a real arcade PCB
how did you connect it up? The website pictures and details don’t really show how you’d wire it up. It mentions USB connectors so I always figured it was a mame only spinner. I don’t even see connection headers on the spinner. Mind showing how you wired it up?I ordered a Turbo Twist 2 from Groovy Game Gear and I have it running with my original Arkanoid board
Randy was fantastic to deal with.
I used the Dial-A-Rez setting to adjust the spinner (4 and 3/4 revolutions seemed to work great for Arkanoid)
Can you post a picture of your complete spinner ?
Testing is easy. Connect ground and power then connect a scope to the 2 remaining pins and look at the pulsetrains. They should be offset.
Those are LS-29 with the old PCB. Look here:

If you do not have a scope, do you have a simple logic analyser like the Salea Logic? If you do not have any of these tools it will be hard to diagnose your spinner.
