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?<br>Thanks Question from someone learning to hack.

It was to be used in conjunction with a miniature film rig for tracking purposes in post. Too many cool ideas, not enough parts or money to finish them.
