encoders from serial mouse

[Screaming_Rabbit]

I will order encoders from smash  ;)

But those I will use for the V-Pods. The optical thing from the mouse parts would be nice for the jog-wheel, since I can control the mechanical resistence.

So I will make the next try and hope to get it working. Since I have logitech mice as well, having the pix would help me finding out, which pin to connect to what :-/

Thanks anyway

;D ;D ;D

Bingo!, burnt the 16E just for fun and the hack works - what a result!!

So, no additional resistors required then by the looks of it. But i'm still confused as as where to put the LED (3pin one in pic)....

A happy Dan...

... does anybody know, what for the 3rd pin on the LED is?

I'm not quite sure at what point you got (if you have made it or not to use a mouse as an encoder), but I could do it with a logitech M-M35, see http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=make_encoders_out_of_your_mouse

On my M-M35 logitech mouse, there's also a 3 pin LED. Two of them are simply connected together on the PCB.
