Hey! Is there a simple to use optical mouse sensor for ESP32 ???
Which library are you using? https://github.com/okhiroyuki/ADNS5050?

hey! I wanna connect an Optical Sensor with Arduino. I hooked it up like it shows in the data sheet and I am using a library from github. But I only get weird readings, could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? links below!!!

hey beautiful people! I am in need of some help. Could someone tell me how to connect an optical sensor (ADNS-5050) to an arduino. bear in mind i just started to work with arduino and electronics in general.
Looks like this project hasn't been updated in a while. But you can try this for a library to use. https://github.com/okhiroyuki/ADNS5050

Electronics for a computer mouse. Sensor is a discount ADNS-5050. Running on an ATmega32u4 (Leonardo). Details in comments.
Currently, it has a polling rate of 1,660Hz. This isn't really indicative of the final performance as its very barebones. Most of the firmware is from this Github repo.

DIY trackball
But brickbots did the hardwork on this one https://github.com/brickbots/aball

Moonlander + Ploopy Nano : anyone else out there?
I did a similar thing with the aball. My extremely barebones version of it was small enough to fit between the thumb cluster and palm rest, so I was able to keep my right thumb keys and not lose any stability. I used that setup for a few months until I eventually built myself a Charybdis Nano.
- Can someone please explain to me how to understand and find these capacitors?

My last project of the year
Qmk trackball based on aball project, but with left and right mouse buttons and 3d printed case.

What is the ideal trackball for an ergo split keyboard?
Brickbots' aball also would look nice to a Lily58, specially if you try to make the cases match.
-
Can anyone help?
Yeah, I’m making myself one of these at the moment, all trackball with no frills, which I would have suggested but no buttons. Where are you based? Do you have someone who could help you build something like either of these? I’m in the UK in London and could happily make some of the parts for you but if you have someone local they might be able to make whatever modifications would make it work best for you.

Build a trackball
Along the same line there's also the aball.

Does anyone else stagger the right side angle so you can have your mouse closer?
I use the aball. I built the most minimal implementation of it possible: https://imgur.com/a/HiJgRkw

Kyria + KAT Cyberspace + Ploopy Nano
That makes sense. Would it be any easier to try to convert something like an aball that uses a pro micro style controller? Could you just drop in a nice!nano?
-
Where do I start!!!!!!
If you find a good split without a pointing device and you have q 3D-printer, the aball is for you.
