  You could use spezial interface chips to solve your problem. Hewlett
Packard has some chips (HCTL2016, HCTL2020) which are easy to use and offer
a lot of features.

I have used the HCTL2020 with the handyboard. If you want to interface the
shaft encoder without special chip you need to measure the pulsewidth of
the signal from the encoder aswell as a direction bit which you can
generate with a simple and-gate. I have written a couple of programs (asm)
to measure frequencies and pulsewidth with the Input Counter of the hc11.
Tell if you need them.

Hi there,

Would these chips be suitable for interfacing a mouse to the
Handyboard? My robot incorporates a mouse as a castor wheel and I want
to use its shaft encoders as position/velocity sensors (relative) for
the robot, but I don't know where to look for details on how the
signals are generated and transmitted for a mouse. Do you have any
suggestions?

Marie
