Hi there, I connected a unmodded PS/2 mouse to the PSP. Here is a video that shows it, using the mouse with a mouse test program and the game Coded Arms. If you want to learn more about it click here. Here's the vid:

Indeed.

**joseph10444** · 05-03-2009, 01:40 PM

imagine hooking it up with other fps games
sigh lol

**soopergooman** · 05-03-2009, 03:07 PM

You could make one heck of a trackball controller for psp fps games. this is sheer genius.
then you could make a 3rd party product and sell it and make millions.

**bob616** · 05-03-2009, 03:52 PM

looks good.

good job!

**LXD** · 05-03-2009, 04:47 PM

a genius at work

**maxexcloo** · 05-04-2009, 11:31 PM

REALLY cool work!

Any chance of you releasing the circuit diagrams and the source?

TokyoDrift · 05-05-2009, 07:37 AM

thank you ppl =]
here is the circiut diagram what it should look like when it's finished

I guess I'll not release my sources since nobody needs it
the only ppl who need the binaries are those, who build this board and i guess that'll be not many

O_O It must have taken you forever to do this, ITS AWESOME!!!!!! five stars

**maxexcloo** · 05-05-2009, 09:55 PM

How much would it cost to build?

I have experience in electronics and would love to build this

TokyoDrift · 05-06-2009, 05:08 AM

well the hardware itself is pretty cheap
the ATmega8 is around 1,50€ (~2$), the MAX1674 is the most expensive thing (4€, ~5,30$)
the elkos, resistors, capasitors, led and whatever are some cents...
BUT you need to buy a ISP Programmer, the cheapest one i found is 25€, that would be around 33$
I'll upload my bins as soon as I've got the plugin finished 100%, if that is not today I'll release the beta^^
TD

EDIT: of course you have to buy a PSP Remote (for getting the plug) and a PS/2 Mouse, too

yuh25 · 05-06-2009, 05:41 AM

if you get tht working perfectly and selling, i would definetly buy this

okay of course i did not finish it today^^
here's the AVR BIN

Interesting system. Any reason you decided to go with an Atmel? I was considering programming something like this with a 16F84A perhaps. I'm an electronics engineer in training, but I'm also strong in C. With your code, it can be easily modified to support external analog support

.

You definitely have an awesome start here, I can't wait to see where you take it!

I started working with µCs not long ago
the ATmega8 is the controller I learned with so I'm familiar with it
=]
I could use a ATtiny25 or something like that but I'd have to implement software UART...>.<

Yeah that's my downside. I haven't learned enough UART protocol to manually program it in C. I'm going to write an algorithm this summer for communication between two PICs.

I don't get the joy of learning Atmel chips unless I do it myself. School is going to teach me ARM

What language are you coding in on the PSP side?

TokyoDrift · 05-06-2009, 12:58 PM

I'm using C

There's already plenty of pic code out there to talk to ps2 mice and keyboards:
PIC - PS/2 mouse interfacing and communication
Communication with a PS/2 Mouse using a PIC 16F84

Thanks! I know the code is out there, it's more of a learning experience. Plus, I work entirely in C.

I was just curious of his choice of chips. I'm a newbie in the microcontroller area and I was debating whether or not to translate to atmel or to jump right to ARM.

TokyoDrift · 05-18-2009, 04:33 AM

hmm I included keyboard support now
have a look at it on your own
