I have some spare nodeMCU that I ordered to perform the modding of a GBS-8200, so I have some ideas for them.
- a wireless remote control and display for a gotek drive (using a smartphone browser).
- Convert an atari mouse to use an optical mouse sensor.
So, one of them will be plugged to a mouse optical sensor and both will be put into an atari mouse
without butchering the socket that lodge the ball. I butchered an unused hp mouse (well, the case has one of its screw engulfed in plastic, totally unserviciable
), found the datasheet of the sensor. This is an intermediate/advanced level project, so I plan to do it slowly during 2021.

At least I studied a little bit which GPIO pins of the nodeMCU are effectively usable. I am a little bit disappointed on this, other ideas will require an ESP32.
The easy part will be encoding the mouse move by driving xa/xb ya/yb.
