PS2 MicroModule
Integration Guide
1.0 Introduction
Designed for OEM integration, MicroModule pointing solutions are ideal for computer cursor
control in rugged mobile computers, hardened keyboards, navigation systems, machine control
panels, and many other computer pointing applications. MicroModule, with its PS/2 interface,
can also be easily interfaced to other control applications such as pan and tilt controllers,
motion controllers, CNC controllers and medical control equipment.
MicroModule incorporates Interlink Electronics’ VersaPoint
®
Pressure-Pointing technology.
Directional control is achieved by applying pressure in the direction of desired movement.
Speed is controlled by altering the amount of applied pressure. The result is smooth cursor
movement in any direction, from a precise crawl to a screen-crossing zip. VersaPoint
technology has no moving parts to break or wear out, thus delivering reliable, trouble-free
cursor control.
The purpose of this document is to guide users through the successful integration of the
Interlink Electronics MicroModule PS/2.
