Hi @sparky4,

Is your mouse outputting Microsoft protocol, or perhaps pc/Logitech? This can be better determined by running the mouse program from the command line, which will display the x,y coordinates. You can also edit the mouse protocol in elkscmd/sys_utils/mouse.c (set MOUSE_MICROSOFT vs MOUSE_PC) to see if that changes things. If so, then this can be changed in Nano-X as well.

Thank you!

thanks ill try it out

[sparky4]

ignore the pins xD

Did you try replacing the code in elkscmd/sys_utils/mouse.c to the following:

#define MOUSE_MICROSOFT     0       /* microsoft mouse*/
#define MOUSE_PC            1       /* pc/logitech mouse*/

Then move the mouse quite slowly, We're trying to determine exactly what is coming from your mouse so that the data is parsed correctly. On ELKS, the mouse data is parsed by the user program (Nano-X), not the kernel. If the above change doesn't do much, then we will have to possibly try to see the raw data itself and determine how to parse it.

okie ill boot it up

[sparky4]

lets see the raw data?

You’ll have to modify mouse.c to do that.

oh okay ill look into it when i get a chance

@sparky4: I added a raw mode output to mouse in #1888 to help you. Run mouse r to see raw mouse data, then take a screenshot after lightly moving the mouse left/right and up/down a bit.

thanks ill check it out tomarrow

[sparky4]

dang i need some time to test it more
