nice picture. --Cyberman 00:56, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Am I correct that the picture is drawn with a single optical encoder on each axis? I'm not really sure how that would work; you can get speed, but how do you get direction? It is possible to use a more complicated code on the wheels that would allow that, but that is not what is drawn. The howstuffworks page shows a mouse with a simple pattern like here, but two photosensors. That gives two signals (roughly) in quadrature, which allows you to determine the direction. The graphic is very nice though, very clear.

[edit] The image of the mouse shell is blurry

I suggest recapturing this image using the macro mode on the camera.

[edit] Readability

It would be easier to read the diagram if the text was directly below it instead of being 2 paragraphs down. Does it make sense to change the layout a bit? JWhiteheadcc (talk) 21:39, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
