Trackball wiring help.
blue:
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)
Kremmit:
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??
