Abstract
A first electromechanical transducer (40) generates a first electrical signal indicative of rotation of a ball (A) relative to a first axis. A second electromechanical transducer (50) generates a second electrical signal indicative of rotation of the ball relative to a second axis. A third electromechanical transducer (60) generates a third electrical signal indicative of rotation of an annular ring (12) around the periphery of the ball, i.e. a third axis. A resolver circuit (D) converts the first, second, and third electrical signals into an indication of movement or position along the first, second, and third axes.
