Glad NXT Ministick to mouse

Hello,

I have the mouse options displayed in the config software.

I am trying to set the ministick anologue (red LED on) to be used as a mouse whilst retaining the default digital HAT inputs (red LED off).

Is this possible?

Thank you for any advice, very much appreciated.

Set the Mouse as Relative, Active as Always on (On/Off only if you want to assign a button press to mouse function), Delay and Speed and Rate and Deadzone set as desired, Control by Physical Axes, Bind X to axis 5 and Y to axis 6. Press Set to save changes.

Thank you for your time, fallout9.

When I set it to Always On the mouse mode is present when either analogue or digital is selected (red LED on or off). I take it Active: On/Off mode allows me to assign the press down of that mini-stick to turn mouse mode on? If so, could you help me set that button to do that?

So, I'd still like the 8/4-way digital buttons to work as default (LED off) and activate the mouse mode when the analogue is switched (LED on).

Thank you.

Yes, On/Off would let you use the ministick as usual and the mouse would become active only when a button is pressed. You could assign a button to Mice control (On/Off), through Logical Layer.

The Rate parameter must be not 0. It helped, thank you.
But what is the Rate parameter? How does it differ from speed?

The mouse could be controlled by any axes you set up under Bind in Mouse menu. These axes could be the ministick or the pitch and roll. To identify the axes you'd like to use go in Test/Axes, move your joystick along those axes and remember their names (x, y, rotx, roty etc). With their names go to Profile/Axes and check to which number those axes correspond to (first cell of the row). Those are the numbers of your axes that should be set up in Bind to control your mouse.
About your other question, rate vs speed, see this capture from the manual:
