360° Trackball Hall Effect Sensor Module – 11PIN DIY

360° Trackball Hall Effect Sensor Module

Take your DIY electronics projects to the next level with this precision 360° Trackball Hall Effect Sensor Module. Designed for makers, hobbyists, and developers, this compact module delivers smooth omnidirectional navigation input using Hall effect technology — no mechanical encoder wear, just reliable, responsive signal output. Compatible with most development boards and microcontrollers, it's an ideal component for custom interfaces, robotics, gaming controllers, and embedded systems.

Key Features

• 360° Trackball Navigation: Detects movement in all four directions (up, down, left, right) plus a center click button for versatile input control.
• Hall Effect Technology: Multi-pole magnetized magnets on the X and Y rotating shafts send signals to SMD Hall elements, accurately determining movement trajectory without physical contact wear.
• Dual Voltage Support: Compatible with both 3.3V and 5V power supplies (VCC), making it flexible for a wide range of development boards.
• RGB + White LED Indicators: Four individually controllable LEDs (Red, Green, Blue, White) for visual feedback — high level = off, low level = on.
• 11-PIN Header Interface: Connects easily to your development board via the included 11-pin header (unsoldered, giving you full flexibility).
• Anti-Static Packaging: Shipped in a protective static bag to safeguard sensitive electronic components.
• DIY-Friendly Design: Write your own programs on your development board — perfect for electronics enthusiasts and prototypers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What voltage does the 360° trackball sensor module support?

A: The 360° trackball Hall effect sensor module supports both 3.3V and 5V power supplies via the VCC pin, making it compatible with a wide variety of microcontrollers and development boards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32.

Q: Is the 11-PIN header pre-soldered on the trackball module?

A: No, the 11-PIN pin header is included but not pre-soldered. This gives you full flexibility to solder it in the orientation that best suits your PCB layout or project design.

Q: Can I control the LED colors on this trackball sensor module independently?

A: Yes! The module features four separate LED outputs — Red (RED), Green (GRE), Blue (BLU), and White (WHI) — each independently controlled via your microcontroller. A low-level signal turns a specific LED on, while a high-level signal turns it off.

Q: Is this trackball module suitable for DIY and hobbyist electronics projects?

A: Absolutely. The trackball Hall effect sensor module is designed with DIY enthusiasts in mind. Once connected to your development board, you can write custom programs to use the 360° navigation, click button, and LED indicators in virtually any project — from custom HID controllers to robotics interfaces.
