11:11 <whitequark> lol this printer: http://hackaday.com/2014/08/05/thp-entry-a-holonomic-drive-3d-printer/

11:11 <whitequark> it's probably shit as a printer, but the ingenuity is admirable

11:30 <kyak> i didn't get the optical mice part

11:30 <kyak> how do you get information from optical mice sensor?

11:30 <kyak> is it "freely" available?

11:30 <whitequark> I suppose by plugging it into a computer

11:31 <kyak> oh..

11:31 <whitequark> an optical mouse sensor is just a very high-performance low-res CCD

11:31 <whitequark> it wouldn't be hard to drive it

11:31 <whitequark> hm

11:31 <whitequark> now I kinda want to hack one

11:32 <kyak> without a pc, how would you know how to drive the mouse and read the information back? Would you have to implement some kind of USB HID driver?

11:34 <whitequark> just use the sensor directly

11:34 jekhor has joined #qi-hardware

11:34 <kyak> or maybe he wanted to cut off the mouse logic and use the sensor directly.. but then what's need for pc?

11:35 <whitequark> I think he wants to use a PC

11:35 <kyak> what kind of information do you get from that CCD sensor?

11:36 <kyak> is it some position, or speed, or distance?

11:36 <whitequark> CCD ~ digital camera

11:38 <kyak> http://www.martijnthe.nl/2009/07/interfacing-an-optical-mouse-sensor-to-your-arduino/

11:38 <kyak> as usual, "already done"..

11:42 <whitequark> right...
