Abstract

See full text

Data is transmitted from a mouse to a host computer in accordance with a 3-byte packet protocol. The first byte includes bits indicating the status of first and second buttons on the mouse. The first bit of each byte serves as a sync bit. The sync bit has a value of '1' in the first byte and a value of '0' in each of the second and third bytes. Data representing movement of the mouse in two dimensions is encoded as two 8-bit twos-complement integers which are transmitted as part of the three-byte packet.
