Decrease resolution of optical encoder?

@alpha, yeah Dsyde found 2 when he did one of his electrocoin salvages,
.
P man, i have the Wheels Runner PCb, and currently I have the jamma harness going into the pedals (basic microswitch) and have taken a 5v and a ground off the harness and the left and rights from the wheels runner pinouts to player 1 and player 2 Happ wheels mounted on the cab ala badlands,
the opto pcb in the wheels im 90 percent sure are these ones
if its not this one its pretty much identical and takes the same connections.

Forgot I actually do have pictures of inside the wheel
Interesting idea pman, could be worth a try. I would love it if it was that simple, its more then likely that the cab I played on bitd was a badlands conversion I guess, which would have had an Atari wheel, Do you have one by any chance?

Just to complicate matters ..... If you do go the Atari route make sure you get the correct encoder board:
Here's one from Missile Command:
Here's the same one, but has what I believe has a flip flop IC fitted (by the Made in USA text):
Not sure which games used the encoder with flip flop ....

Yeah I had a quick google for Atari optos and saw that one TB, not really sure what to be looking for really, most of the pics i see are from peoples hacked up mouses on byoac!
If anyone has any information or even better an opto from either a badlands wheel or pole position or something please let me know, even if i could perhaps just borrowed it to try out the theory.
Im still trying to wrap my head around the flip flop thing if anyone wants to help an electronics dunce out.

Cheers James, im slightly concerned that the optic layout is curved though, and the one on the happ is straight. gonna take a bit of hacking to get it to fit I think. and there isnt an IC on there at all, I dont know enough to know if that is a good thing or not?
Might be worth a punt though.

I've got an encoder from a Konami GT cab I smashed to peices, it is definately Atari compatible as I have some tech sheet it came with showing different designations for different driving games.
Don't worry, it was an Electrocoin cab and therefore needed to be killed as it was badly swollen and rotting (made my job easier).
