Image controllers with sheet connected sensors

摘要: A sensor connecting sheet material for inclusion in appropriately structured multiple-axes controllers comprised of a single input member operable 6 DOF relative to reference the controller. The having return-to-center resiliency on at least three perpendicular linear axes. can be continuously rotatable trackball-type or limited rotation joystick-type, and shaft, base housing. include carriage structuring influencing connected sensors by hand-applied operation member. preferred structures provide cooperative interaction with movement force influenced primarily area. Some, most, all are preferably supported generally plane, such as printed flexible membrane circuit board sheet. In an alternative embodiment, conductive traces applied flat, sheet, which is then bent into dimensional configuration may some cases reach widely-spread 3-D constellation and/or other mountings. use member, whether finally flat configuration, enables efficient connection placement during manufacture, resulting low product costs high reliability.
