DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

(Yes! I'm just ordering the PCB now! (This second. Signed into JLCPCB as I type!) I think I've got the rest of the bits to build two) :)

I think though, everyone's mouse is going to be different, so, whatever changes are made, probably need to be easily made, per user.

I use a Logitech Ergo S trackball with the DPI button turned on mostly.

@LarryL ,

Not sure if this will help in your case but you could try turning down the usb-mouse scaler in case it's the TOS side which is freaking out by the large numbers/quick movements.

There is no fancy, or even non-fancy, program to configure CKBD specific features yet but you can do so from the Raven monitor.
Enter it by pressing the NMI button if you have a serial connection.
Alternatively, by running c:\raven\mon.tos in which case you don't need a serial connection.

The scalar is an 8.8 fixed point number where the decimal lives in register $14 and the whole in register $15
(The default is 1.0 which is the same as register $14=0 and register $15=1)

for example; if you want to set usb mouse scale to 2.0x you would run the following in the monitor:

Code: Select all

kbd set $14 0
kbd set $15 2
For 0.5x scale

Code: Select all

kbd set $14 128
kbd set $15 0
0.25x scale

Code: Select all

kbd set $14 64
kbd set $15 0

and if you want to save the settings so that they persist:

Code: Select all

kbd save

Another long-shot would be to see if your mouse behaves better in "boot mode" rather than full usb report mode.

Code: Select all

kbd set $21 0
kbd save
(you may need to power cycle for boot/report mode changes to take effect, I can't remember)

If that didn't make any difference, then I would put it back to 1 again. Not all usb mice support "boot mode".
(same as above but write a 1 instead of 0 into register $21)

Oh, and speaking of ckbd.

You can change the ckbd communication speed. The default is 7812 like standard IKBD/Eiffel but CKBD can go higher and I've been running mine at 125000 since, well forever now, and I think maybe I should just make that default.

from the monitor:

Code: Select all

cfg ikbd_baud 4
reset
0 is the default for 7812 and each increment effectively doubles the rate.

Thanks for all that @agranlund I'll give it a go too as hopefully it'll let me use the matching mouse to the keyboard and will free up a USB socket then.

I stuck little lables on the shield pcb, if anyone wants or likes it?
Criticisms welcome :P

I should really make a version where the screw holes are used to hold the pcb in place...

But do you also have the 3D printable backdrop?
