Product description
A tiny, RGBW-illuminated, clickable Trackball Breakout that's perfect for adding navigation or control to your Raspberry Pi or Arduino projects.
We've taken a trackball module from everyone's favourite fruit-flavoured phone and added a bunch of clever engineering to let you build old-school interaction into your projects. As well as x/y directional tracking and click, we've added an RGBW (red/green/blue/white) LED right under the clear trackball to illuminate it and allow you to add visual feedback.
Use Trackball Breakout with an Arduino that supports USB HID to use it as a tiny mouse. Or why not use it as a colour/brightness control for an LED matrix breakout or a set of our Mote lights?
Because the trackball has a grippy rubber surface you can also use it with the trackball facing downwards and track it as it rolls on a surface, like a traditional roller ball mouse.
Features
* Mini trackball with click button
* RGBW LEDs beneath trackball for illumination
* Moulded plastic trackball casing
* Mounting holes
* Nuvoton N76E003AQ20 MCU
* I2C interface (address 0x0A/0x0B (cut trace))
* 3.3V or 5V compatible
* Reverse polarity protection
* Compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi, and Arduino
* Python library
Kit includes
* Trackball breakout
* 1x5 male header
* 1x5 female right-angle header
