Its possible to hook up a PS/2 mouse (for example touchpads or trackpoints) to your keyboard as a composite device.
To hook up a Trackpoint, you need to obtain a Trackpoint module (i.e. harvest from a Thinkpad keyboard), identify the function of each pin of the module, and make the necessary circuitry between controller and Trackpoint module. For more information, please refer to [Trackpoint Hardware](https://deskthority.net/wiki/TrackPoint_Hardware) page on Deskthority Wiki.
There are three available modes for hooking up PS/2 devices: USART (best), interrupts (better) or busywait (not recommended).
## The Circuitry between Trackpoint and Controller :id=the-circuitry-between-trackpoint-and-controller
To get the things working, a 4.7K drag is needed between the two lines DATA and CLK and the line 5+.
```
DATA ----------+--------- PIN
|
4.7K
|
MODULE 5+ --------+--+--------- PWR CONTROLLER
|
4.7K
|
CLK ------+------------ PIN
```
## Busywait Version :id=busywait-version
Note: This is not recommended, you may encounter jerky movement or unsent inputs. Please use interrupt or USART version if possible.
In rules.mk:
```makefile
PS2_MOUSE_ENABLE = yes
PS2_USE_BUSYWAIT = yes
```
In your keyboard config.h:
```c
#ifdef PS2_USE_BUSYWAIT
# define PS2_CLOCK_PORT PORTD
# define PS2_CLOCK_PIN PIND
# define PS2_CLOCK_DDR DDRD
# define PS2_CLOCK_BIT 1
# define PS2_DATA_PORT PORTD
# define PS2_DATA_PIN PIND
# define PS2_DATA_DDR DDRD
# define PS2_DATA_BIT 2
#endif
```
## Interrupt Version :id=interrupt-version
The following example uses D2 for clock and D5 for data. You can use any INT or PCINT pin for clock, and any pin for data.
In rules.mk:
```makefile
PS2_MOUSE_ENABLE = yes
PS2_USE_INT = yes
```
In your keyboard config.h:
```c
#ifdef PS2_USE_INT
#define PS2_CLOCK_PORT PORTD
#define PS2_CLOCK_PIN PIND
#define PS2_CLOCK_DDR DDRD
#define PS2_CLOCK_BIT 2
#define PS2_DATA_PORT PORTD
#define PS2_DATA_PIN PIND
#define PS2_DATA_DDR DDRD
#define PS2_DATA_BIT 5
#define PS2_INT_INIT() do { \
EICRA |= ((1<<ISC21)|\
(0<<ISC20));\
} while (0)
#define PS2_INT_ON() do { \
EIMSK |= (1<<INT2);\
} while (0)
#define PS2_INT_OFF() do { \
EIMSK &= ~(1<<INT2);\
} while (0)
#define PS2_INT_VECT INT2_vect
#endif
```
## USART Version :id=usart-version
To use USART on the ATMega32u4, you have to use PD5 for clock and PD2 for data. If one of those are unavailable, you need to use interrupt version.
