Laser Motion Measurement Sensor. Can use with IOIO?

[michaela...@hotmail.com]

Hi guys,

Looking for a really accurate motion measurement sensor to help track my IOIO robot.

I found this: ADNS-9800 Laser Motion Sensor (https://www.tindie.com/products/jkicklighter/adns-9800-optical-laser-sensor/)

Can someone please have a look and see if this would work with the IOIO?

Would I need a Java library? (Apparently for Arduino you need the Arduino SPI library) or would it be a simple hookup?

I've come across other tuts about using a standard (oldschool PS-2 protocol (NOT USB)) mouse lazer mechanism to make a motion measurement sensor. But has the above sensor simplified the process?

Thanks in advance.

It looks like it should work with the standard SPI interface on the IOIO. You'd need to implement a device driver in Java. Judging by a quick look at the Arduino library, translating to Java should be too hard.

should be too hard -OR- shouldn't ?

Oops, "shouldn't" of course.
