List of files

  • gerber.zip : ready for manufacture (recommended PCB thickness: 1 mm)
  • bom.csv and ibom.html : BOM
  • PMW3610-Ref.kicad_mod : footprint for keyboard integration (warning: put it on the bottom side)
  • datasheet : lens datasheet
  • schematics.png
  • board.png
  • design/pcb : the board design file in case you need to modify the outline and add screw holes.

Build guide

socket pins

Be aware that the pin hole is only 0.55 mm. It's designed to be used with low-profile (2.5mm height and 2.54mm pitch) socket.

Some recommendations:

footprint placement

If your trackball is installed on the front side of the pcb, the footprint should be placed on the bottom side.

optical center selection

There are two optical centors indicated in the footprint:

  • for trackballs with diameter larger than 20 mm, use the optical center from datasheet
  • for trackballs with diameter smaller than 15 mm, use the 'realistic' one

RESET soldering jumper

If you wanna actively control the reset using the RESET pin, connect 1-2 of the jumper. If you do not need RESET control, connect 2-3 of the jumper. Check board.png for the numbering of the jumper.

The driver implementation in zmk does not use the RESET pin.

Firmware

I have implemented the driver under a fork of zmk (https://github.com/ufan/zmk/tree/ptdevice-refactor) . Check [this reference shield](https://github.com/ufan/zmk/tree/ptdevice-refactor/app/boards/shields/blade** for integrating into your keyboard.

Datasheet

The sensor: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=589838076159 The sheet about the lens can be found under datasheet

PCB Design file

The breakout is extracted from my keyboard project. So the design file is not complete (no schematics design file). But it should be sufficient to make some outline adjustment and adding extra screw holes.

There are many alternative regulator on the market with compatible footprint. In most cases, it's not necessary to change the circuit design.
