PAK VI with mouse

Archiver

Hi there,

I have a Pak VI here and would like to use it to read mouse movements into
the stamp. How would I connect it and what kind of information does a mouse
deliver?

Thanks for your help!

Uli

Hi Uli,

Have a look at http://www.al-williams.com/awce/pak6mou.pdf

The mouse can be set to "remote mode" which this code does. In remote
mode, the mouse accumulates an X and Y position until you ask for it (as
opposed to just streaming out position data constantly). You do have to
read the mouse often enough to prevent overflow of the mouse's registers
(it will tell you if you overflow).

Good luck!
