 This examples reads four axis of a mouse together with three buttons and outputs the results periodically. Further, the safety system checks for the middle button to be pressed. This causes a level change. As soon as the button is released the safety system changes back to the first level.\\ This examples reads four axis of a mouse together with three buttons and outputs the results periodically.
