I swear, I read the book, but as I'm getting ready to start building the control panel, I keep seeing things that are leaving me confused.
It talks about tapping into the power source of the computer itself to get the opticals reading in the trackball and not running the trackball to the USB port, or more specifically the possibility of frying the motherboard if you do hook the track up to the USB port.
What I'm curious about is this. You run the trackball through the Opti-Pac, which can connect to a USB hub...am I still going to need a power source for the trackball, or will the Opti-Pac provide it without fear of knocking out my motherboard?
Thanks for all the help, as always!
