Theory of Operation
The ADNS-6010 is based on
LaserStream
Technology,
which measures changes in position by optically acquir-
ing sequential images (frames) and mathematically de-
termining the direction and magnitude of movement.
ADNS-6010 contains an Image Acquisition System (IAS),
a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), and a four wire serial
port. The IAS acquires microscopic surface images via
the lens and illumination system. These images are
processed by the DSP to determine the direction and
distance of motion. The DSP calculates the
x and
y
relative displacement values. An external microcontroller
reads the
x and
y information from the sensor serial
port. The microcontroller then translates the data into
PS2 or USB signals before sending them to the host PC
or game console.
