Interfacing an optical mouse to the Arduino
12. January 2009 - 19:37 — adminAbout connect the optical sensor from a cheap mouse to your Arduino and have it read out the x- and y-movements.
AVR and 1-Wire interface
4. December 2008 - 14:25 — adminDallas Semiconductor (Maxim) produces a family of devices that are controlled through a proprietary 1-wire interface. On a 1-wire network, a single "master" device communicates with one or more 1-wire "slave" devices over a single data line, which can also be used to provide power to the slave devices. How to connect such devices to Arduino?
Capacitive sensor
