- Have any new mouse/joystick sensing features been built into SCALA MM400?
-
- I am interested specifically in the following:
- a.) Can SCALA MM400 sense the x,y location of the mouse pointer and give
- the user the ability to trigger events based on where the pointer is?
- (I'm *not* talking here about clicking in a box, I'm talking about sensing
- just from moving the mouse pointer over an area of the screen.)
- b.) If the above is possible, is it also possible, then, to tell whether
- the mouse pointer is moving or still, say, by comparing the last x,y to
- the current x,y and "sensing" thereby whether the pointer has moved since
- the mouse port was last polled?
- c.) Does SCALA have the ability to send and receive data over the parallel
- and serial ports?
- d.) Does it have the ability to sense voltages on the joystick pins and
- trigger events by joystick input?
-
- Many thanks,
