Title: Trackball question
Post by: BarontheFirst on September 24, 2003, 03:53:40 pm

I am going to be adding a trackball to my finished control panel and really don't want to screw it up! Is there a stencil or diagram for the Happ 3" trackball cut with a plate. I am using 3/4 MDF. Thanks for any help anyone can give!

This woudl be nice... I just cut one last weekend... and I ended up just stenciling around the trackball as it sat on top...

but I have a mounting plate... so I have some slack..

But it would have been nice to have a template to print out.

There are mounting views with measurements.  Not hard to measure out where everything goes.

I have this in a word doc, just print it and lay it over your CP, works great.  Let me know where you want it emailed, or if others want it as well, maybe somebody could host it somewhere.
