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?

Hi (...) 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 (...) (29 years ago, 12-Jan-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
