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

| ===== Hardware description ===== | 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 |
