Title: Connecting Wico 3" trackball to OptI-PAC?
Post by: jberries on January 09, 2006, 02:56:54 am

Hello
I want to connect my 3" Wico trackball to my OptI-PAC.
See the picture for the trackball connector, circled at the top of the picture in green.
From reading info on this site (http://www.ultimarc.com/optipac3.html) it looks like I should be using these connections

Black (2 wires)

While I don't actually have a Wico trackball, my reading indicates that Wico, Happ, and Betson trackballs all use the same pinout.  Which would make sense, as they all want their trackballs to be drop-in replacements.

Don't rely on just the pin out. Open your trackball up and then you can actually see what color wires go where.
