You can drive this cable directly from your MCU, as it's open-drain, a hookup requiring, at most, a few resistors and, maybe, a diode or two. Plus, of course, the PS2 protocol. I think that's the bit Mahmood is balking at? You are free to do whatever you want, but all the PS/2 wedge interface requires in a one-off is wire. and software - see above. What's more, if you are using a PC, you can probably patch into the interrupt handlers for the mouse and get the information you want when you want it without any wiring at all. Err.. not on anything Win-32 based! Note even sure if you could still do that on Win-98? |
