Kempston mouse sensitivity — ZXNet «hardware.zx»

From Sergey Nilov To All 20 December 2006

Hello, All I recently assembled Kempston Mouse Interface according to the Kondratiev scheme, which was published in Spectrofon #'20. I connected a mouse from pC (Mitsumi PS/2). Works stable, no glitches. After working in BGE 3.05 I discovered that the cursor does not move very quickly. In principle, you can work like this, but I would like to increase mouse sensitivity. Does anyone know how this can be done?

Hello demon_zx Try an optical mouse.

From Dmitry Vasilievich Terentyev To All 20 December 2006

Hello wally Only programmatically, since it depends on the properties of the mouse itself. Or another mouse try.

Hello, Evgeny Muchkin Evg> Try an optical mouse. yes. it should be much faster...

From Evgeny Muchkin To All 21 December 2006

Hello caro car> You cannot use an optical mouse this way. Don't try to use an optical mouse ;)

From Dmitry Vasilievich Terentyev To All 21 December 2006

Hello, Evgeny Muchkin The first optical mice were on two mikrukhs, one mikrukh from the sensor gave similar signals as with optocouplers, and the second microcoupler was like in a regular mouse, which actually conveyed the information, so this kind of mouse can be used in Kondratiev’s scheme, but unfortunately in the new mice everything goes in one microstructure (according to at least I didn’t come across any others).

From Kamil Karimov To All 21 December 2006

Hello, Evgeny Muchkin Evg> Try an optical mouse. The Kondratieff circuit uses only optocoupler coordinate sensors and buttons. All electronics from the mouse are thrown out. Sensitivity is determined by its mechanics. You won't be able to use an optical mouse this way.

Hello demon_zx So we will look for an ancient optical mouse. If I had known earlier, I would have bought it instead this ball. Thank you all very much!
