Accelerometer based mouse

smart mouse
MOUSE??
Interfacing between user and computer

Current mouse:- Ball, Optical

Needs a pad or flat surface

Limits working space




SMART MOUSE (using MEMS Accelerometer)

Can be attached on users body (e.g. hand)

Eliminates problems in a notebook computer

Simply by hand gestures the computer can be
controlled, thus making it very comfortable

Portable
WHY SMART MOUSE??
INTRODUCTION
Wireless mouse
Communicates with pc using a wireless link
Mouse actions such as cursor movement, left click,
right click
Accelerometer- converts hand movements into
cursor movements


PROJECT CONTENTS:
MEMS
Microcontroller
RF module

MEMS
MEMS is MICRO ELECTRO MECHANICAL SYSTEM
Acts as mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, electronic
on a common silicon substrate.
MEMS converts physical stimuli ,events and parameter
to electrical and optical signals and vice-versa.
It measure acceleration, motion, vibration, shock,
tilt.
PROJECT DEFINITION
In this project there will be two section master and slave.
The slave part will contain MEMS sensor. The MEMS
sensor will be connected to PIC controller.
The PIC is connected to the RF Module transceiver using
SPI.
The Master part will connected to the PC.
The output X, Y of MEMS Sensor will be given to PIC
and also to RF. The sensor data will be send wirelessly
to the Master part and according to it move the cursor.
Also the left and right click will be control using keys.

TYPES OF ACCELEROMETER
CAPACITIVE ACCELEROMETER
Most commonly used
Capacitor formed between field electrode and mobile
electrode
Acceleration Change in capacitance Change in
output voltage


Accepts data from sensor
Forms data packet




Sends packet to wireless module
MICRO CONTROLLER
X direction relative movement
Y direction relative movement
Left Click Right Click
WIRELESS MODULE
Communicates data packets to PC
Wireless technologies available:
i. ZigBee
ii. Wi-Fi
iii. Bluetooth
iv. IR Wireless
ALGORITHM:

1. Sensor sense the x and y movement.
2. Initialize the ADC routines.
3. Calibrate that ADC routines.
4. Encodes the data into form of packets.
5. Initialize the RF module.
6. RF module sends that packet over a wireless channel.
7. Initialize RF receiver
8. Sends to the microcontroller.
9. Microcontroller decode the data.
10. Covert to the PS2 format.
11. Covert in the form of USB protocol format.
12. Send it to the pc.
APPLICATIONS
Controlling devices in unmanned places

Astronauts in spacecrafts

Pointer for conferences

Joystick/Controller for games



CONCLUSION
Thus we are going to design mouse which consumes
less power than existing system
It is more portable, accurate & easy to handle.
