Atari clone with ps/2 #1

Closed ps68060 closed 2 years ago

ps68060 commented 3 years ago

I am a newcomer to Arduino but I have been looking for a way to connect USB mouse (wireless) to an Atari clone that has ps/2 sockets only. https://uweschneider.de/en/projects_milan.php

I found your archived project https://github.com/ChrisDeadman/Usb2Ps2Mouse which looks ideal but then I saw this project and wondered if it is the better solution.

Hardware is not my area so I want to keep that to a minimum.

Hi! The mouse code of both projects should be pretty equal, I rechecked and do not see that I had to fix anything afterwards. You can use either but I would recommend this project (you do not need to use the PCB from this project, it is only needed for gameport support and has the PS/2 connector soldered) You can change the pins for the PS/2 output in https://github.com/ChrisDeadman/usb-to-ps2-gameport-hat/blob/master/Software/usb-to-ps2-gameport-hat/include/Config.h

fyi: make sure to use a level-converter from 3.3V to 5V for the PS/2 connector like in the picture of the Usb2Ps2Mouse, I ordered those and they work well for prototyping https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07F3P942R

I added an image of the schematic now so it can be seen which pins are PS2_DATA1 and PS2_CLOCK1, how they are connected to level-converter and from there to the PS/2 connector.
