Post by thread:[PIC] Microsoft scrolling mouse

Hello everybody! I'm new here and first I want greet everybody. I'm Balazs Jahn from Hungary. I have learnt English for 1 and half year, so my English isn't verery good. Sorry. I have learnt programming PIC microcontrollers for 1 year. I want use my Microsoft basic optical mouse (USB/PS2) via PS2 with a PIC16F877 microprocessor. I can send and recieve datas, and it is working good, but as an ordinary mouse and not as Microsoft scrolling mouse. So at the moment I can't use the mouse's scrolling wheel. I found the most information about the PS/2 mouse interfacing on the http://www.computer- engineering.org/ps2mouse/ site. How can I tell to the mouse, behave as Microsoft scrolling mouse? Thanks for your help.

>How can I tell to the mouse, behave as Microsoft scrolling mouse? Welcome Jahn. Your English is very good, and is much better than my Hungarian. You should be able to see some messages come from the mouse when you move the scroll wheel. I don't know what messages the mouse sends, but this web link looks like it may have useful information on some of its links. http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/3-Button-Mouse.html Best of luck.

Hope it's of help, Dan

Alan, Dan, thank you your quick answers. > http://www.computer-engineering.org/ps2mouse/ also has >information on the > PS/2 mouse protocol, including the Intellimouse extensions. First I tought M$ only tets the device, therefore sends "Reset Command" to the mouse three times: (http://www.computer-engineering.org/ps2mouse/) Power-on Reset: Mouse: AA Self-test passed Mouse: 00 Mouse ID Host: FF Reset command Mouse: FA Acknowledge Mouse: AA Self-test passed Mouse: 00 Mouse ID Host: FF Reset command Mouse: FA Acknowledge Mouse: AA Self-test passed Mouse: 00 Mouse ID Host: FF Reset command Mouse: FA Acknowledge Mouse: AA Self-test passed Mouse: 00 Mouse ID ... and Set Sample Rate 3 times again :-) But on the http://www.mit.edu/people/gassend/protocols/intellimouse/ site was the same method. Ok thanks for your help, I go home and I will check it. Have a nice day. (??) I don't know what time is it at your home, but here is 2 o'clock P.M.
