Mouse misbehaving on old laptop when connected during power up

[depau]

Hi, thanks for sharing this project, it's really useful! I used it to connect a modern mouse to my old Toshiba Satellite 310CDS running Windows 98.

I noticed the mouse works fine but only if I reset the microcontroller (or reconnect the PS/2 port). If I leave it connected during power-up it moves incorrectly and it randomly clicks around.

I tried flashing the 100Hz build (haven't tried the 200Hz one) but the behavior is the same.

Do you have any suggestions for troubleshooting? Thanks!

Hi, do you have a serial cable? Can you post the debug output from GPIO0?

Hi, yes!

You should be able to see where I reset the pico; after that it started working correctly.
