- Mouse mileage
- -------------
-
- I'm really f***ed off with this program now. I can't calibrate it
- correctly and if somebody else could I'd be really grateful!
-
- Basically, this program measures how far you move the mouse in one
- session in miles, kilometres, cm and inches. It also counts how many
- times you press the buttons. To display the results, either type
- *Mileage or shut the machine down.
-
- Inside the application, as well as the module & source code, there are
- two programs: Calibrate & Test. The former lets you calibrate the
- program as it is pretty inaccurate when measuring cm & inches and the
- latter gives a constant mileage report to test the program with.
-
- Known problem: The program doesn't measure inches & cm properly. I'm
- bored with doing it myself so can somebody else send me some values
- which work properly please? This could be due to the calibration
- program. The program works out these measurements by dividing the no. of
- pixels moved by a fixed value. It is this value that I can't get right.
- Answers on a postcard please to...
