Hi,
I just received from Mouser GlidePoint Cirque TM040040. And to my surprise it came just as a touchpad on a pcb with a 12pin J1 connector on it(if I read documentation right).
I tried searching for those ribbons separately and I was wondering perhaps you folks can advise me what could be possible ways to go about this?
I want to design a pcb with it, perhaps pcb schematics could have that connector on it? I have never done this before, so not sure if places like jlcpcb or pcbway offer that as a service. But then I would still need to find a proper size ribbon for it. I am based in Europe btw.
Not even sure what other alternatives could be, without shelving this trackpad and buying a new one that is part of some kit.
I'd appreciate if anyone has any advice,
Thanks,
