Mice


Overview

I've often thought that computer mice would be useful pre-made input devices for movement, and button sensors, so this is just a start to collecting information about them.

Potential uses for computer mice:

  • Rotary optical encoders using mechanical mice roller wheel sensors
    • eg robot motion (direction and distance) feedback
    • eg wind speed indicator
    • eg dynamometer
    • eg speed measurement
  • Use the whole mouse (either mechanical or optical) as a position tracking sensor that supplies motion X-Y info
