The four spindles on the ICSH044A ICSTATION Blackberry Trackball Breakout Board 360 Degree Trajectory Ball Module Hall Effect Sensor have a tiny circular magnet at the end; each of these is paired with an SMD hall effect sensor, which is used to measure up, down, left, and right movements of the trackball. An SMD momentary switch is placed under the trackball to give you a select switch. The BTN line will be pulled low when the switch is pressed. Also included on the Trackball are 4 LEDs: red, blue, green, and white. These can be powered to light the clear trackball up any color you can imagine.
All features are broken out to a 0.1 pitch header. Regulated, 2.5-5.25VDC power must be provided to power the Hall sensors. The trackball is attached to strong CA glue. Board comes as shown, with all components populated.
The hall-effect sensors and trackball combo are surprisingly sensitive. A slight roll of the trackball creates multiple high/low transitions on the four axis pins, easily picked up by any microcontroller essentially giving you the option of adding a mouse to your project. A 360 rotation of the trackball, along with a single axis, will result in about 9 high/low transitions.
