From: "Alan S. Willis" Subject: HOME-BREW; Previous PowerGlove query... Date: Wed, 07 May 1997 09:51:10 +0100 Message-ID: <009B3E54.A98FF08E.1@zippy.dct.ac.uk> Organization: University of Abertay Dundee Hello again. A couple of months ago I placed a query about how to interface a Nintendo PowerGlove to a PC. I must say that I got a great response and decided that it would be worth trying after all. Needless to say it's taken me a long time to get around to ordering the bits 'n' pieces to do this. However I got all stuff connected this previous Monday and turned the Beast on. Wow - no explosion!! But then...nothing worked after that!! The transducers died, no beeps from the keypad, no nothing. Strangely, this is a situation that I can repeat again and again so I would assume that I haven't damaged the glove. Now, I couldn't figure out what was happening until I re-read the box in which the glove came - well, part of it 'cos most of it is in Japanese. What caught my eye was the bit which screamed "PAX PowerGlove"!! So, my question is "Is the PAX PowerGlove different from the Nintendo PowerGlove? If so, in what way?". When I was wiring up the interface adpator I noticed that the wire colours were red, orange, yellow, green, and brown. Should I read "Brown" as "Black" like in the Nintendo PowerGlove and wire the thing up accordingly or is the wiring in the PAX different from the Nintendo? Any help would be greatly appreciated - sorry for the rambling. -Alan Willis -- =========================================================================== Alan S.
