Issues using serial debugging (Mouse moving)

OS: Windows 7 x64 Serial Console Used: the one that comes w/ the Arduino software What Happens: As soon as the Core boots up the below code my computer recognizes a “new” device. Every few seconds my mouse is moved down and to he right about 100 ish pixels All buttons are now the the “Middle Click” or at least act like it (clicking on a tab in chrome closes it which happens when you middle click" This can only be fixed by unplugging the core and randomly plugging and unplugging my mouse co…

[Solved] Spark Core over USB affecting mouse pointer

Spark USB issue After weeks of VERY SUCCESSFUL operations, connecting the core using USB is trashing my PC. I have been using USB to set the SSID when needed and to debug code sequences to a serial window. (WIN 7/ 64 bit/ Intel i7). Was the USB interface MODIFIED??? Issue: After connecting CORE 1 to the PC, less than 30 seconds, the mouse pointer is uncontrollable. Moves on its own, LEFT click will not work; can not close open windows. Have to manually (Reset Button) restart the PC. …

Photon takes over the PC mouse!

I have had this happen several times, even with the simplest programs: void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); Time.zone(-5); } void loop() { Serial.println(Time.timeStr()); delay(1000); } When the photon starts running, the PC mouse jumps in small amounts up and to the left, and I have no control. If I disconnect the photon, I regain mouse movement control, but the mouse will no respond to clicks until I cotl-alt-delete and the cancel.

Computers think spark is a Serial Mouse?

Hi guys, I’ve been experimenting with my sparks using the HTTP client library and example to post data to a emoncms server on a Rpi successfully. Recently I’ve encountered a problem that when the core starts breathing cyan when connected to either of my computers (One on Win7 one on Win8) the computer recognises them as a serial mouse. The cursor starts jumping around the screen and randomly left or right clicking on things. The chrome browser I currently have open freezes. Then when I re-open …

RF interference by Serial port

Just FYI. I have a GPS unit connected to the Serial1 pins on a Photon. Every time that the GPS sends a message out on its TX pin, my mouse jumps about 2 inches on the screen. The wireless mouse is unusable. It is all breadboard and loose wires, but I just thought I would put it on the record regardless.
