Question Regarding Wiring Groovygamegear Trackball

[Yourname942]

Does anyone know how to wire the groovygamegear trackball? I can't find any tutorials/guides online. I'm confused bc the wires aren't loose. (The ends of the wires have connectors attached to them, and some wires are bunched together to the same connector)

Edit:

here is a picture of the trackball:

What are you connecting it to?

If you're connecting to an opti-wiz no-solder, it should be plug and play.



Red/black is 5v/ground. (right side of board)

Green/yellow is one axis. (Y-axis IIRC probably connects to pins C+D of opti-wiz, assuming the wires come off the lower right corner of the TB)

Blue/purple is the other axis. (X-axis IIRC probably connects to pins A+B of opti-wiz)

You won't damage anything if green, yellow, blue, or purple are accidently swapped around.

If you move the trackball horizontally and the cursor moves vertically, swap green/yellow for blue/purple.

If an axis moves the opposite direction you expect it to, swap green + yellow or blue + purple.
