Hi
I wanted to hack the distance meter in a ps2 mouse . So I downloaded the Ps2 mouse library and It worked perfectly with the example which was included in the library.
My problem is that when I integrate this code with a simple code to control a dc motor , for some reason none of them , the motor and the sensor , works.
I'm not a professional , but I guess there is something wrong with the serial communication.
In the attached file , all the grey parts in the script belongs to the sensor.When I reactive these parts , the motor doesn't work anymore.
I appreciate if anyone has any idea what's wrong!

The what? My mouse doesn't have a distance meter...

What does serial communication do with the ps2 mouse?
Where do you try to control the motor based on the mouse position?

sorry ,maybe I should have explained more clear.This is about old mouses that work with a ball , not laser:

OK. But, I still don't see anything in the sketch you posted that connects the mouse output to the motors. Does moving the mouse results in any meaningful output on the serial monitor?
