	Interface the PIC with a PS/2 optical mouse and display (x,y) position data on either an LCD screen (see, e.g., [[C Example: Serial LCD]] or [[C Example: Parallel Interfacing with LCDs]]) or the PC (e.g., in Matlab or hyperterminal).

			==Unresolved Issues==
	==Notes and References==
			Our group was unable to display the motion of an optical mouse on an LCD screen. After a great deal of troubleshooting, we have come to the conclusion that our interrupt service routine algorithm or microcontroller is simply not fast enough to receive and send data in time with clock signal generated by the mouse. The mouse clock signal is essentially a 10-16.7 kHz square wave. Each high and each low on the clock signal would last roughly 40 microseconds and our interrupt service routine (which was supposed to trigger every time the clock went from high to low) tended to miss or skip several signals at a time. This problem prevented the mouse from ever receiving an “Enable Data Reporting” from the PIC and thus the mouse never outputted data to the PIC.

			Suggested solution: Use a faster microcontroller or develop a more efficient interface program.

			The mouse sends the data within the frames described in the PS/2 protocol section. This is a visual representation of a byte of information being sent from the mouse to the host:

	Normally, when a mouse first powers on, it will send its device ID information and set default values for its sample rate, resolution and scaling. The mouse also by default disables its ability to report data until it is sent an “Enable Data Reporting” command from the host (in this case the PIC). Once the “Enable Data Reporting” bits are sent, data reporting is enabled, the mouse can send data as long as the clock and data line are not held low by the host. Typically, a PS/2 mouse will send 3 bytes of data in three consecutive data packets as shown in the diagram below:		Normally, when a mouse first powers on, it will send its device ID information and set default values for its sample rate, resolution and scaling.

	The PS/2 protocol uses two bidirectional communication lines between the system (in this case, the PIC) and the external device (the mouse). These lines are specified as DATA and Clock and allow for host-to-device transmission and device-to-host transmission. Data is sent as bytes with 11-12 bit frames (11 for device-to-host transmission and 12 for host-to-device). The frames are made up of: A start bit, eight data bits, a parity bit (odd), an end bit, and in the case of host-to-device transmission, an acknowledge bit. This data transmission takes place based on the clock signal generated by the external device.
