This sketch shows you how to read information from the Esplora’s joystick and use it to control the movement of the cursor on your computer. You’re making your Esplora into a mouse! This sketch will take over the mouse movement of your computer. If you lose control of your cursor do the following : unplug […]
Hello makers!! For those who already know my Instructable “Space Mouse” https://www.instructables.com/Space-Mouse-With-Ard… there is now an extension for it! The Creative Console!! I designed this console to extend the functionalities of the space mouse keeping the prime concept: keep it cheap, customizable and 3D printable! This project has been challenging, but after all that is
At first glance, this little animatronic mouse might seem like a fairly simple affair. A door opens, our rodent friend pops its head out, looks around, and goes back in. But just like in The Wizard of Oz, a strategically placed curtain is hiding the impressive array of gadgetry that makes the trick possible. Creator [Will Donaldson]

When [John Floren] obtained a vintage Depraz mouse, he started out being content to just have such a great piece of history in his possession. But if you’re like him, you know it’s not enough to just have something. What would it be like to use it? To find out, [John] embarked on a mission to build a USB adapter

Please vote for me in the conests I have always been pretty amazed by the Capacitive sensor library of Arduino, It makes me feel like a super human, I can make any non conductive material to act like a touch enabled controller for various use cases, So here I thought of controlling my PC with
Since the ESP8266 came on the scene a few years ago and revolutionized the way microcontrollers communicate with other devices, incremental progress on this chip has occurred at a relatively even pace. First there was the realization that code could be run on the chip itself. Next the ESP32 was released which built more on
Useless machines are generally built as a fun pastime, as they do nothing of value by their very definition. The most popular type generally involves a self-cancelling switch. However, there’s plenty of other useless machines to build, and we think [Jeffery’s] build is particularly creative. The build consists of an XY gantry that moves a standard

This is a very exciting time for those who like to spend their downtime exploring virtual worlds. The graphics in some big-budget titles are easily approaching photorealism, and immersive multi-channel sound can really make you believe you’ve been transported to another place or time. With another generation or two of GPU development and VR hardware,

This foot pedal plugs into the Arduino case which plugs into your PC via microUSB cable. Arduino microcontrollers can easily be used to power fun projects like robots and even sending tweets to Twitter but they’re versatile enough to turn up in the strangest of places – like under your feet. We had a question

The PS2 mouse is an input device which can communicate with a host device using the PS2 protocol. It can be connected to a host device using the 6 pin mini DIN connector. The mouse will continuously give output which can be decoded to get the movement in the X-Y plane and also the status
