USBM232A   Wired/Wireless RS232 Mouse Adapter    Versalent   Home

Upgraded version of the USBM232 that now works with wired and wireless USB mice ..
converting to an RS232 mouse for your non-USB system!


Converts a standard wired mouse, or composite wireless mouse to an RS232 Serial Mouse for general use with any UART system. USBM232A provides a simple USB HID host which communicates with a USB mouse converting the mouse movement/click (USB) reports to standard ASCII RS232 characters for use with any host via a serial UART. Can be ordered in DCE or DTE* pin configurations (both with DB9 female).

DESCRIPTION

       USBM232A is a 2.6" X 1.7" X 0.8" module which provides translation of the USB mouse signals to serial RS232 characters. This allows even small microcontroller systems to incorporate USB mice without any of the development complexity of USB and HID drivers. The RS232 (ASCII or binary) messages for each mouse movement or click are short so as to minimize transfer latency for fast mouse movement.    Manual available here

Works with wired/wireless mice not needing special drivers. Although some mice include a driver CD for special features, many work with default USB drivers and these will work with the USBM232A. Validated with:

  1. Wired:
    • HP 672652-001 (Model MOFYUO)
    • Dell OKD944
    • Logitech M90
    • 3D Optical Mouse
  2. Wireless:
    • Logitech T620 (Unified receiver)
    • Logitech M85 (non-Unified receiver)
    • Logitech M-RCE95 (L-bracket receiver)
Software Utilities available for download

USBM232 Tester Application .. installs on your PC to set mode, sensitivity, and view mouse data.

USBM232A-xxx is available with various power source and RS-232 options to provide the flexibility to mate to a variety of systems without additional adapters.
*All units whether DTE or DCE provide DB9 female connector. Small M/M adapters available for conversion.
