I started building my CP about 2 years ago, and had to abandon the project to due time and other constraints. At the time i was thinking of using a mouse hack as the interface for my trackball. Today i will be going with the Opti-Wiz |

My Betson trackball had the following wiring Molex Connector Wiring (blk) Gnd 1 4 Vdir (green) (red) +5V 2 5 Hclk (blue) (yellow) Vclk 3 6 Hdir (brn) |

You don't need to put the plug back on. Here are the colors for a Betson/Imperial trackball. Red hooks up to +5v Black hooks up to Ground Green and Yellow are axis 1* Blue and Brown are axis 2* The other two, smaller-guage green leads with the loop at the end are earth ground, and can either be ignored, or wired to a metal piece in your cab if you like. Happ Trackballs are the same, except that the Brown wire is Purple instead. *I can never remember which pair is X and which is Y. Play around with those and you'll get 'em right. |

Thanks for all the info guys. I think that i will be wiring it up with the molex - will just make everything cleaner. Do you know if this is worth getting?? Trackball Cable for Opti-Wiz |
