Hello
I've a problem to connect the ps2 mouse to arduino. I've use the ps2-library directly from arduino.cc, use leonardo board and connected my asus usb-mouse to the arduinoboard(VCC= red, ground= black, green=clock(3), white = date(2)). I've tried with sevaral pins. When i use the mouse example from arduino.cc, it compiled but i haven't a result on the Serial-Monitor.
Can anybody help me?
A USB mouse is NOT a PS/2 mouse. If you wanna connect a USB mouse, you have to use a USB host shield or an Arduino Due (which incorporates similar hardware).
I found out that some USB mouses are just a PS/2 mouse... Mostly the simple ones..
It doesnt seem like the one you got is a ps/2 mouse so you need the usb host like pylon says.
I've readed that this will be function in the Practical Arduino Book from Jonathan Oxer.
Is there a possibility to connect an USB mouse to Arduino? I've need this for my schoolproject. I will read with the optical mouse the position coordinates of may robo-car. Have everybody done this befor and can send me the sourcecode and library?
You can connect a usb mouse to a usb host shield. Libraries that support mice are provided.

We are using PS/2 mouse to measure wheel rotation, and I don't see why typical USB-mouse wouldn't do that as well.
So, it's time to se the code....?
Cheers,
Kari
I've connected an old PS2-Mouse with a "ball" for tracking. And it works fine. But when I connect an Optical PS2-Mouse, I haven't a signal. I've debugged the code an saw that it hang up in de while loop:
while (digitalRead(MCLK) == HIGH)
;
Anybody a solution?

Hello i´m a Arduino beginner an I need help with the ps2 Protocol.
I want to take a laptop trackpannel to control my MIDI gear.
How can I read the mouse scroll in my sketch?

Was anyone able to find a solution to marco131's question? I have the same issue. Ball ps2 mouse works great, but optical ps2 mouse lights up but no data. It seems to stick on the statement checking for when the clock goes low [while (digitalRead(MCLK) == HIGH)]. Any help is hugely appreciated.
FYI: I am making a stitch regulator for my wife's sewing machine which will increase speed that faster the fabric is moved and slower stitching the slower the fabric moves to achieve constant distance between stitches. All working, but optical would be better than ball mouse on fabric. Thanks!
Did you figure this out @alchle ? I'm working on the same project (stitch regulator) and I've had success with a native PS/2 optical mouse, the "Logitech PS/2 Optical Wheel Mouse" which I bought recently from Amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HGMMH6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )
