And is it open collector type?

Thanks

Use a pager motor to “jiggle” the mouse ball.

Any ideas?

Once I get the emitter/detector pair out of the mouse, how do I set up my wire leads to get my square wave to read into a scope or in my case LabView data acquisition? IOW’s can someone show me the wiring diagram? Do I need other IC’s from the mouse to make this work?
Thanks
