Mouse

A mouse generates a clock and data signal when moved; otherwise, these signals remain
High indicating the Idle state. Each time the mouse is moved, the mouse sends three 11-bit
words to the host. Each of the 11-bit words contains a '0' start bit, followed by 8 data bits
(LSB first), followed by an odd parity bit, and terminated with a '1' stop bit. Each data
transmission contains 33 total bits, where bits 0, 11, and 22 are '0' start bits, and bits 10, 21,
and 32 are '1' stop bits. The three 8-bit data fields contain movement data as shown in

moving the mouse to the right generates a positive value in the X field, and moving to the
left generates a negative value. Likewise, moving the mouse up generates a positive value
in the Y field, and moving down represents a negative value. The XS and YS bits in the
status byte define the sign of each value, where a '1' indicates a negative value.
The magnitude of the X and Y values represent the rate of mouse movement. The larger the
value, the faster the mouse is moving. The XV and YV bits in the status byte indicate when
the X or Y values exceed their maximum value, an overflow condition. A '1' indicates
