| zorg:
Hi, this will be a newbie question I was wondering if it's possible to interface a crayola kidsball trackball to an opti-pac. or if I have to stay with the USB/serial interface. thank's |

Not sure about the optipac aspect, but the kidsball is a serial device out of the box. Can I ask why you want to go through an optipac? It works fine if you just use the serial port. I have one in my cabinet. Just solder a few wires on the board to hook up some happs buttons to use as mouse buttons instead of the ones that come on the ball. |
