Hey,

I'm working on a project where I use Infrared distance captor as a mouse to control windows.

Captors are linked to my microcontroller which is itself linked to my pc by RS232.

Now I want to move the cursor mouse on the windows screen depending on the data received by the captors.

I was wondering if the microcontroller can do directly that (interact with the windows system) or if i have to make a small windows program that willl receive the data through the RS232 link in order to deal with them ?

I think it's the second option (and I already started like that) but as I'm still a beginner in the microcontroller programming I prefered to ask some pro ^^

Besides if anyone knows how I can do that just let me know

Hope someone will answer,

Thanks a lot
