I have recently discovered that the HID mouse protocol supports absolute cursor positioning in addition to the more common relative mode. I think that opens interesting possibilities, one of them being we can plot real-time charts in MS Paint with no additional software running on the computer, using just the standard Bluetooth mouse protocol:
The board used above is Adafruit's Feather nRF52840 Sense, which has Bluetooth LE and lots of sensors. On the video we're plotting readings from the accelerometer. The chart is drawn by simulating mouse and keyboard inputs (keyboard is used to clear the screen when we reach the right edge).
Here's the Arduino code.
