You shouldn't lose place if the mouse is serviced by input counters and
interrupt routines, so whether 2 MHz is fast enough depends on how often you
need the positions calculated from the mouse counters. You won't be able to
get that as fast as the mouse counter updates, but all you have to do is get
the latest and do your calculation. It's the control aspects using that
information which will determine whether your application is fast enough.

| the other issue that should be mentioned re: changing clock speed is that it messes up the baud rate of the serial communications. if you plan to use interactive C, would have re-assemble the pcode program with a different baud rate constant, to (...)

| From: (...) I assume you are going to need to do trig functions as well? I've written software that functions as a 2-D odometer, and uses encoders on the two wheels, and I had to write sin,cos,atan2 functions. How are you getting rotational (...)
