Re: USB Specification (Don't hit me!)

The Chicklet does support a mouse and can connected to the R/C. The mouse outputs on the x and y axes. These axes could be connected to the R/C analog ports. You will only get .5 to 5 volts but that is enough to do what you are asking. What you need and what will be available shortly is the USBeak. The USBeak is an HID to RS232 converter. In streams the raw data from the device into any USART. Unfortunately it won't be available until after this season.
