      So apparently it can compute internally the X and Y movement, as it only needs to send that, as opposed to sending the whole image, which makes sense why it's slow in this case.

    Wow! Well done! I gave you a big thumbs up.
    Next week make it in colour, and I mean not by scanning the black and white sensor for fractions of microseconds (every colour has its own frequency, by turning on and off the sensor, the colour can by interpreted by the length of the phase) Although, I think you need quicker processors for that. Colour detection can be done with optical filters but that needs fine mechanics. Luckily colour can also be detected by changing the frequency of the light, add a number of different LEDs and let that light shine on the object, red light is not reflected by blue objects etc. After a rainbow of colours the real colour of the image can be calculated. Than you finally can see your cat in colour.

      That is not an accurate understanding of how visible-wavelength sensors work. Visible light image sensors of even very high end cameras are not electromagnetic devices, they are photoelectric devices, i.e. not sensitive to phase. You cannot get visible-band color information from a black and white sensor through any kind of sampling or gating scheme even if you're able to sample or gate at daylight frequencies.

    • @vanhetgoor
      @vanhetgoor 10 месяцев назад

      @@AJMansfield1 I am sorry, you can but at this moment not a single optical sensor is fast enough to do so. Not so long ago in electronics magnificent things were done by looking at the phase, the same thing can be done with light as soon as there is some development. The fact that it is not jet possible right now does not place a barrier for thinking further then what is achieved at this moment.

    • @AJMansfield1
      @AJMansfield1 10 месяцев назад +1

      @@vanhetgoor Believe me, I know exactly what you're talking about as applied to radio and microwave frequencies - quadrature sampling is a fairly ubiquitous technique used in all kinds of radio devices to extract phase information from a signal. At visible wavelengths though, the feature size you need in order to construct filter elements that are reactive to those frequencies starts to reach the point where the only construction method possible is "stacking thin films into a filter", and it's not really possible to include active elements in the effective "circuit" formed this way.
      The way that ccd or cmos camera sensors operate involves an entirely different physical principle - they do not measure the electromagnetic fields directly using an antenna, but rather count the rate of discrete photon events, based on the current across a suitably-tuned semiconductor junction. It's not a matter of "good enough", it's actually a totally fundamentally different way of measuring light. And without some novel breakthrough in the design of the sensor cell, phase information will always be lost by that photon bandgap process.

      It is so slow because it takes quite a long time to read out the images. The sensor needs at least 100 microseconds for each pixel. You also have to wait a few hundred microseconds between the read accesses to the individual pixels. So it adds up to about 1 millisecond per pixel, which at 324 pixels is about 300 ms per image. So we get about 3 images per second.

    nice! such cheap (easy to find as recycled...) sensors could be used as image-detection for home automation presence detection: I did make some tests with USB webcam connected to a MCU and it's okay, only need a good pattern recognition layer

    very brilliant thought concept & having correct infrastructure to realize it, what about mice who have invisible light source i tried closely to look with a digital camera couldn't see anything if it was IR would have shown white, i managed to see the dim red laser dot of a laser mouse.

    Amazing!
    I wonder if a better mouse would generate a higher quality image?
    Like one of those logitech G pros, razer viper whatever
    Or if those have more custom parts that are harder to modify.
    I'd love to see a part 2 exploring that!

      Better mice don't have more pixels. They are only closer together so the resolution per inch is better. Furthermore, not all mouse sensors feature reading the raw images.

    • @SianaGearz
      @SianaGearz 9 месяцев назад

      @@DoctorVolt Of course there are mice with more pixels, 3360 sensor raw image dump is 1296 pixels large, that's 36x36 pixels. Reading is quite tricky though, the sensor requires different volatile firmware uploads for each of its operating modes including test mode.

    Nice video, thanks for sharing it. The one data line SPI is the I2C (it is open drain, not push-pull like SPI but it has to be). It is supported with the Wire.h library. 3 fps is pretty wierd a mouse must respond much faster.

    • @MisterkeTube
      @MisterkeTube 10 месяцев назад

      If it is I2C then the master is probably the one determining the clock. 18x18 pixels with (guess) 8 bit resolution and wanting something like at least 60Hz refresh rate (again a very rough guess, some mice claim >1000Hz) would require around 150kbit/s. Many I2C devices can operate at 400kHz, so that should be feasible. I hence think the 3Hz will be a limitation by the implementation on the ESP32.

    1. A memory divice having tiny coil heads and few plate of farric oxide coating...same like reel in taperecorder.....
    Feo2 paste can be apply over tiny self made thin plastic disks using screen printing stancil....a watch moter can be used to rotate and another for movment of head😂
