TTL Serial Port and PS2 Mouse Interface
Hi,
Was tinkering with a PS2 mouse in the garage the other day. Noted the two digital encoders, 3 digital inputs and the analog input (roller). Noted that four wires connected it to the PC (pins Vcc, 0, CLK, Signal).

Been reading today about the TTL Serial Port on the RC.

Any possibility that these two things can be electrical tied together (simply)? With some of the code samples I have seen it could then be possible to add some more capability to the robots.

Let me know what you think!

Regards,
ChuckB
