Small switches. Big control.

Choose an axis. Set your direction. Dial in your speed. The black block on your control board is the DIP switch bank — eight sliders doing three jobs. Switch 1 picks the axis, switches 2–3 reverse direction, switches 4–8 add speed.

Before you change anything

Unplug the USB cable. Adjust the switches. Reconnect and test.
Slide it, don't flip it. Move the white slider gently to the end of its short slot.
Use UP and DOWN — not ON and OFF. The board is silkscreened ON along one edge, which is easy to misread. Orient by the board instead: UP is toward the top connector, DOWN is toward the printed switch numbers.

What each switch does

Switches 1–3 — axis and direction

Switch	UP	DOWN	Notes
1 Axis	X axis — left / right	Y axis — up / down	Chooses which mouse axis the spinner controls.
2 Reverse X	Direction A	Opposite — swaps left ↔ right	Affects X only. Use when switch 1 is UP.
3 Reverse Y	Direction A	Opposite — swaps up ↕ down	Affects Y only. Use when switch 1 is DOWN.

Check direction on your own unit. Turn the sprocket clockwise and watch the cursor. If it goes the wrong way, change switch 2 (for X) or switch 3 (for Y). “Direction A” is a reference position, not a verified left/right or up/down mapping.

Switches 4–8 — speed

Each switch adds its number when DOWN and nothing when UP. Add together only the DOWN switches.

Switch	UP	DOWN
4	adds 0	adds +1
5	adds 0	adds +2
6	adds 0	adds +4
7	adds 0	adds +8
8	adds 0	adds +16

Range is +0 through +31 (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16). Example: switches 4 and 6 DOWN gives 1 + 4 = +5.

These are added speed values — not multipliers, and not a stated base speed. +0 does not mean the spinner is stopped.
