Mouse.release()

[USB]

Description

Sends a message that a previously pressed button (invoked through Mouse.press()) is released. Mouse.release() defaults to the left button.

WARNING: When you use the Mouse.release() command, the 86Duino takes over your mouse! Make sure you have control before you use the command. A pushbutton to toggle the mouse control state is effective.

Mouse.release(button);

Parameters

  • MOUSE_LEFT (default)
  • MOUSE_RIGHT
  • MOUSE_MIDDLE

  //The switch that will initiate the Mouse press
  pinMode(2,INPUT);
  //The switch that will terminate the Mouse press
  pinMode(3,INPUT);
  //initiate the Mouse library
  Mouse.begin();
}
 
void loop(){
  //if the switch attached to pin 2 is closed, press and hold the right mouse button
  if(digitalRead(2) == HIGH){
    Mouse.press();
