I'm interested in using an optical mouse sensor in a position feedback application. Older sensor designs often had quadrature A/B signals, but the newer sensors like the ADNS-9800 have an SPI interface. I have found a place that seems to have one of these devices for sale, mounted to a circuit board.
https://www.tindie.com/products/jkicklighter/adns-9800-optical-laser-sensor/ My question (probably answerable by PCW), is whether the SPI firmware component of the 7I43 (or other Mesa cards) can be used to read one of these, without a lot of custom vhdl (which I don't have time for at the moment). I'd like the 7I43 to interrogate the ADNS-9800 about position change every servo period. Anybody tried something like this?
