💡 Mouse Emulation

Mouse emulation (available on ESP32-S3) allows PedalinoMini™ to function as a standard USB HID mouse or a Bluetooth LE mouse, giving you full cursor and button control directly from foot pedals.

✅ Works with any device that supports standard mice

  • USB Mode: Wired mouse control on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android (via USB OTG).
  • Bluetooth LE Mode: Wireless mouse control on laptops, tablets, phones, smart TVs — no dongle or receiver needed.

✅ Fully Wireless Option (BLE Mouse Mode)

  • Connects to devices over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
  • Appears as a standard wireless mouse.
  • Perfect for live presentations, touchscreen devices, or mobile workflows.

🧩 Mouse Actions You Can Assign to Pedals

PedalinoMini™ lets you map a variety of mouse functions to your foot pedals:

🎯 Mouse Button Actions

You can choose from the following buttons:

  • Left
  • Right
  • Middle
  • Back
  • Forward

And assign one of these behaviors:

  • Click Simulates a quick press and release of the selected button → Example: Left-click to select, Right-click to open a context menu

  • Press Press and hold the selected button → Often used to start a drag action

  • Release Releases the selected button → Used to complete a drag or drop an item

ℹ️ Tip: You can link a mouse press to a pedal press, and a mouse release to a pedal release. This makes actions like drag-and-drop feel natural and responsive.

🧭 Cursor Movement

Move the mouse pointer gradually in any direction with each pedal press:

  • Move Up / Down
  • Move Left / Right

→ Combine with multiple pedals for full directional control.

🔄 Scrolling & Panning

  • Scroll Up / Down Vertical scrolling — as if turning the scroll wheel

  • Pan Left / Right Horizontal scrolling — great for navigating wide documents, spreadsheets, or audio timelines

✅ Combined Keyboard + Mouse Support

  • PedalinoMini can emulate keyboard and mouse simultaneously.
  • Use one pedal for a key combo (Ctrl+Z) and another to move/click the mouse.
  • No special drivers required — all via standard USB or BLE HID.

🖱️ USB Mouse + BLE Mouse in Parallel

Yes, PedalinoMini™ can emulate both a USB mouse and a Bluetooth LE (BLE) mouse at the same time, enabling simultaneous control of two different devices.

You can configure PedalinoMini™ to:

  • Act as a USB HID mouse (e.g., for a PC via cable)
  • Act as a BLE HID mouse (e.g., for a tablet or smartphone)

➕ Dual Output Example:

Output Target Device
USB Windows/macOS/Linux PC
BLE iPad, Android tablet, etc.

Both outputs work simultaneously.
