The Seeing Eye Mouse

Saw this via Makezine.com... very cool sensor for robots... it doesn't use a Basic Stamp (but rather a custom coded PIC)... I know we aren't suposed to post non-Parallax stuff in these posts, but my question is can someone translate the PIC code that is provided into PBASIC so that the application could be run by a BS2?

Here is the link...http://www.imakeprojects.com/projects/seeing-eye-mouse/

    That article mentions the PIC16F628A is programmed in C with the CC5 Compiler. It's not trivial to convert a C program to PBasic and my gut feeling is a Basic Stamp won't be fast enough for this application.

    A quicker and cheaper alternative is to use the ezMouse www.multilabs.net/ezMOUSE.html for $14.95. The ezMouse interfaces a PS/2 mouse with a Basic Stamp. See the Basic Stamp program at the bottom of the to access the mouse.

    Steve -

    Here is another alternative for obtaining the X-Y feedback signals from a mouse:
