I’ve always wondered what the LinuxCNC HAL pin names would be for an ordinary mouse, particularly nowadays when an Arduino Leonardo can become a USB HID gadget without much effort at all. If one had a Leonardo and l337 programming skillz, one might receive far more interesting data than just fast-twitch muscle movement…

So. We begin…
From less /proc/bus/input/devices:
... snippage ... I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c077 Version=0111 N: Name="Logitech USB Optical Mouse" P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.0-1/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/input/input10 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse3 event10 B: EV=17 B: KEY=ff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: REL=143 B: MSC=10
From ll /dev/input:
... snippage ... crw-r----- 1 root root 13, 74 2013-02-23 07:46 event10 ... snippage ... crw-r----- 1 root root 13, 35 2013-02-23 07:46 mouse3
Manually beat the permissions into shape, because this is a one-off affair:
sudo chgrp users /dev/input/event10 sudo chgrp users /dev/input/mouse3 sudo chmod g+w /dev/input/event10 sudo chmod g+w /dev/input/mouse3

Hmmm, that was interesting…
