PC Pointer
This is a very simple PS/2 to serial mouse protocol converter which uses a PIC micro-controller and MAX232.
Schematics
Two schematics are presented for two different PIC micros. It should trivial to port this application to any controller you have using this project.
Install
First install gputils for gpasm and Pickle for ICSP (if you are using a Velleman K8048 for example).
Fetch the source and assemble the code.
hg clone http://hg.kewl.org/pub/PCPointer cd PCPointer make
Now program the chip. Here I use [[:projects:pickle|Pickle].
