I think you are probing the output signal at the PS/2 connector, and here the things became more complex, the encoders outputs and also the pushbuttons signals are processed by a microcontroler or a custom chip which translates all of them into characters sent to a kind of serial port, if the mouse is PS/2 type or worse if it is a USB one. So you need to process your external encoder in the same fashion and connect it as a second mouse (windows can recognice more than a mouse). You probably can experiment trying to use an discarded mouse circuitry replacing its internal cheap encoder with an external one instead of emulate everything with a microcontroler. 73 de Ignacio, EB4APL ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
[Flexradio] Mouse Scroll Wheel
I would like to hijack the scroll wheel circuit in an old mouse, so that I can connect external devices and use them to tune the VFO in PowerSDR. Does anyone know how the scroll wheel circuit operates in a Logitech mouse? I would have thought that there would simply be two optical paths that would give quadrature drive signals, but probing around with my scope, leads me to believe that it is much more complex than that. There seem to be bursts of 6 us pulses regardless of whether the wheel is being operated or not. When the wheel is operated, other pulses appear in the gaps between the bursts. Does anyone know what this is all about? 73, Greg, ZL3IX ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
