  1. LASER GUIDED MOUSE ECE 445: Senior Design Spring 2007 Samir Desai Howard Luo James Lin

  2. Project Description • Through the combination of a standard laser pointer and a clicking device that we designed, we have revolutionized the presentation industry by introducing a new freedom of movement while maintaining control of the computer wireless and effortlessly

  3. Project Sub-units • This project was divided into three main sub-units: • Device design and fabrication • System integration and driver manipulation • Image acquisition and analysis

  4. Device Circuit Design • Goals of the Clicking Device: • Wireless • Simple Logic • Low Power Consumption • Configurable size • No lag time • Very little noise • Transmission speed that allows rapid double clicking

  5. Design Basics • Two capacitive push buttons send parallel signals that represent the Left and Right mouse clicks • Parallel signals are encoded into a serial signal using an 8 bit shift register. The shift register provides a start and stop code that enclose the LR signals: 010LR010

  6. Design Basics Continued • Shift Register outputs serial signal to a Transmitter which then wireless sends the signal to a Receiver on a different board. • Receiver takes the signal and sends it to a Max232 which converts the voltages into values the serial port will recognize and transfers them via DB9 and RS232 cable to the com port.

  7. 555 Timer • Shift register needed a clock frequency that would be recognized by comport and be fast enough to allow a rapid double click. • We chose 2400 bits per second (Hz) • LM 555 Timer allowed us to generate a clock very near this frequency

  8. 555 Timer continued Using two resisters of value 1600 Ohms and 2000 Ohms and two capacitors of value .1uF and .01uF, we generated a clock signal of 2576 Hz with a duty cycle 64.3%

  9. 555 Generated Waveform

  10. Design issues and solutions • After the basic design was completed, there were some problematic issues that needed fixing: • Too much noise • Power source regulation • Square wave generation

  11. Clicker Schematic

  12. Receiver Schematic

  13. Printed Circuit Boards • Once final boards were built and successfully tested, we designed PCBs • Helped with size configuration • Provided more suitable casing options

  14. PCB issues • The PCBs for the clicker and the receiver were never successfully tested • 555 timer • Max232 • Hardwiring • Floating voltages

  15. PCB pictures: Clicker

  16. PCB pictures: Receiver

  17. Casing Pictures: Clicker

  18. Casing Pictures: Clicker continued

  19. Casing Pictures: Receiver

  20. Casing Pictures: Receiver continued

  21. Testing and Plots • Capacitive button:

  22. Testing and Plots continued • Transmitter to Receiver 2400 Hz:

  23. Testing and Plots continued • Transmitter to DB9 input at 2400 Hz and 20 feet:

  24. Future Improvements • Drag and Drop feature • Miniaturization • USB implementation

  25. System Integration • Serial data read into COM port and analyzed • Relative location of laser pointer acquired from image processing • Integration of these two factors followed by mouse driver manipulation

  26. Block Diagram of Integration

  27. Serial Port Test HowTo • Hardware: Serial loop back • Software: Reads in data from the serial port and interprets data as Left or Right click

  28. Serial port loopback • Serial port pin diagram

  29. RS232 Test Program

  30. RS232 Test Program

  31. RS232 Test Program

  32. RS232 Test Program

  33. Behind the GUI • Serial Port Settings • Baud Rate: 2400 • Data Bits: 7 • Stop Bit: 1 • Parity Bit: none

  34. Reading from the Receiver

  35. SerialPort Class in .Net Framework • Close: Closes the port connection and sets the IsOpen property to false • Open: Opens a new serial port connection • ReadExisting: Reads all immediately available bytes, based on the encoding, in both the stream and the input buffer of the SerialPort object. • Write: Writes data to the serial port output buffer

  36. Process for reading COM port • Open COM port • On data received, read in data from COM port buffer • Interpret data • Close COM port

  37. GUI of COM port tester

  38. Reading from Image Processor • clickLocation = detector.point;

  39. Mouse control HowTo • Use import method SendInput of the user32.dll library • DllImport the User32.dll • Remember to add the library using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

  40. Testing Mouse Control

  41. Process for Mouse Control • Set Text Left / Right • Set the cursor to memorized location • Set up the INPUT structure • Fill it for mouse down and send the input • Fill it for mouse up and send the input

  42. Image Processing • Logitech QuickCam Fusion • Microsoft DirectShow • 320x240 BitMap • ~8-10 fps • Applied a red filter to camera lens

  43. Image Processing

  44. Image Processing • Every 5 pixels of BitMap is checked • Finds brightest spot in picture

  45. GUI

  46. Calibration • Software automatically determines the user’s screen resolution • Define four corners using laser pointer and buttons on GUI • Use corners to determine upper lower, left, and right bounds • Calculate XFactor and YFactor • Convert BitMap location to screen (x, y)

  47. Calibration Marks

  48. Calibration

  49. Calibration • XFactor and YFactor ~ 3.5 – 4.5 • Therefore approximately every 20 pixels on the screen is clickable • point = new Point(ScreenX, ScreenY)

  50. Calibration
