Well what I want to do is similar to a mouse input device. I'm not sure if I want to go with a PS/2 or a USB design. I want to create an input device that has the functionality of a mouse left button when clicked. I took apart Logitech Wheel mouse to see what's inside and I am guessing it has a quadrature encoder from what I read. So do I just need to buy a quadrature encoder?
I did some research on how to design a PS/2 mouse and I found this site:
**broken link removed**
The author used to provide a link to his full written PS/2 mouse program for PIC16F but it's not there anymore. I'm not sure if I should buy a PIC16F and program it or should I just buy a quadrature encoder? Which is an easier way?
Please any suggestions would be helpful. Thank You.
