Being in IT, not only did I clean the mouse ball and rollers for my own mouse, but for company staff too.

If he has an iPhone, it probably won't show IR light. I've tried with friends' iPhones and it never worked. Looking at the very same TV remote or surveillance camera using my Android smartphone's camera always showed the IR light - the fruity phones I've tried never did. Assuming the TV remote had good batteries and was in good working order or the surveillance camera was in night mode. Ditto for elevator door light curtains. Where I live, elevators are required to have light curtains between the doors and typically, light in the IR spectrum is used. If an object breaks the light curtain between the elevator doors, the doors either remain open or, if they are in the process of closing - they stop and re-open. It is a safety requirement. Most elevator companies enable a feature called "nudging" whereby after a preset amount of time, even if the light curtain is broken, the doors will still attempt to close (albeit with reduced force, I think). This is to prevent someone from holding an elevator indefinitely while other people are waiting (on other floors).

@@OMA2k I think the fruit company put a filter on their cameras, either a physical one in the camera's lens, or a software one in the image processing. It might be a safety/modesty thing following the Sony camcorder IR nudes/semi-nudes from the late 1990s. Going purely from memory, please research it. Sony had introduced a feature called "Night Shot" into their line of camcorders 📹. It included IR illumination to help brighten night time video recording. According to the story, no one at Sony tried it in daylight. In direct sunlight, there was enough IR light (from the ☀) that the camera could see through a single layer of clothing. After months on the market and millions of these camcorders had shipped, Sony was inundated with requests to explain how to use the x-ray vision feature. When Sony tried to issue a recall, most individuals and many stores were less than enthusiastic to return the camcorders. The next version Sony released still had the "Night Shot" feature, but it was disabled in direct sunlight. If I remember the story correctly. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the Sony camcorder story might have influenced the fruit company to filter their mobile device cameras.

I figured out the solution for the gummed up mouse in the 90's: I had a table where the mouse ball would slide. So I taped a paper onto the desk as a makeshift mousepad. Turned out not only could I also use it as a note/scratchpad, it also kept the mouse clean! The gunk would end up on the paper and after a few months it was dirty and full of notes, so I switched it. I kept on doing that until optical mice took over.

You missed the problems with the Mouse Systems pad optical mouse. I know you couldn't try it, but it does not act like an optomechanical mouse even if the way it measures movement is technically similar. The optomechanical mouse moves in the orientation of the mouse. The Mouse Systems pad optical mouse moves in the orientation of the pad, which meant that while it was very accurate, turning your hand any amount, as you do naturally, or having the pad at an incorrect orientation would cause the mouse to move in an unexpected direction. For most people, moving in the orientation of the mouse feels more natural. You could work with it when you had to like on a Sun workstation, but I had little patience. Using a ball mouse and dealing with the cleaning of the rollers was easier.
@Cythil3 жыл бұрын
Interesting. I never really had that issue when I used such a mouse back in the day. I am sure it happened but I think is similar to the lack of issue I have with the up and down direction of a USB. Just something a lot of people encounter that I never really did and the few times I had a slight issue it was so slight and took so little time to correct that I forgot about it. It may be that I also had a more advanced later version of the grid pad optical mouse. Something that may have used grid for the sensor but was more akin to a modern optical mouse. It was such a long time ago for me, so I am not sure.

Wow, what a packed and super interesting episode. Last year, I ran into those opto-mechanical solution inside a Mac ADB Advanced Gravis MouseStick (I) and had to diagnose it before it started registering movement. I made a lengthy thread about it in the allaboutcircuits forum. Basically, the light wasn't picking enough light because of scratches in the plastic film on plastic film contact inside the wheel between LED and photoresistors. I had to up the voltage feeding the LEDs to make the whole sequence trigger. Most people owning these joystick have developed this problem over time so these 'duds' are unfortunately getting sold on eBay and most people don't realize it's an easy fix by turning a potentiometer for a bit. I went further down the rabbit hole this year by getting inspired by a custom thumbstick joystick getting interpreted by a very small Arduino which sent back the same kind of quadrature data, but digitally, to an old Macintosh serial port, so that it could replace the mouse in a Mac Plus, 512k, 128k or even Lisa. I mimicked the design and tried to improve on it while also making a gamepad case, 3d printed. Our designs and choices are documented in the hardware section of 68kmla forums.

Back then, it was always the rollers. Now, many of the balls have degraded to the point where the rubber has gone ever so slightly stiff. Just enough so that it doesn't quite grip the rollers properly, and you get tracking issues. I've found that the Microsoft Serial Mouse 2.0/2.1 are still fairly reliable.

@mikehunt36883 жыл бұрын
Benjamin Lum its actually not too difficult to understand, its all laid out on the datasheet, for example take the register Motion at 0x02, so since its using a byte it has 8 bits, below the chart with the registers it lists in detail the bits and the fields and what they mean, like for Motion it says bit 7 (it starts at 0 so 7 is actually the 8th bit) is MOT which it says is motion since last reported which returns two values, 1 or 0, 1 meaning motion has occurred, 0 meaning no motion, with the rest of the bits reserved. What this tells us is that you can read at 0x02 and the 7th bit will tell you whether or not motion has occurred. If you’re interested in reading more for yourself you can find this particular datasheet at media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Avago%20PDFs/ADNS-5030.pdf

I also had a mouse with such a special pad for my XT PC, connected via serial port. At some point that pad was falling apart and I had no money to replace it. So what I did was simple: I printed a similar pattern as was on that pad using my 24 pin needle printer of that time on ordinary paper. Of course, I couldn't print as fine as the original pattern was but it was fine enough, the movement was just a bit slower. Finally I got a very thin, transparent piece of hard plastic as a cover and the replacement was done. While not good as the original, it kept that mouse alive and I could re-print it as often as needed. As you can see, my mouse was already a bit newer and did not work with two different kinds of light, it just required a pattern of tiny squares, circles, or octagons (I tried all three and all of them worked). When I got a new computer, I also went back to a mouse with a ball even though they got dirty, their movement was just smoother until the first real optical mice were available for affordable prices.

Little bit of trivia for the 90s kids: The analog sticks on the Nintendo 64 controllers used optical encoders much in the same fashion as old ball mice meaning they were mostly digital as the encoders can only detect a set distance from the assumed center in so many exact increments. But by being able to detect so many small increments of movement, it essentially "emulated" true analog control as far as the end user was concerned. Probably the only thing that gives it away is the very subtle "ratcheting" feedback you can feel when rotating it, that's the plastic teeth on the encoder discs.
