Assembly instructions

In order to use the mice sensors, the PCB must be removed from the optical mouse and the VDD, GND, SCK and SDIO must be soldered with wires to be connected to the microcontroller with the microcontroller internal 5V power supply.

All the 3D printable parts must be printed, the parts have been designed to be printed optimally with an Objet 30 (Polyjet resin printer), and have also been printed with a Form 2 (SLS resin printer). The materials used are the Vero gray resin and the Clear V4 resin with the Objet 30 and the Form 2 respectively. For both printers the settings have been the default settings.

Figure 2 and 3. Optical sensor assembly

Insert the two M3 brass threaded inserts by applying pressure. Attach the sensor on the sensor holder using 2 M3 screws. Follow the instructions on Figure 3 to assemble the three Thorlabs components with the Sensor holder.

The lens must be glued to the PCB in the correct position, with the lens aligned with the optical flow sensor.

Attach the whole assembly on the rotary stage platform where the mark of 90 degrees is.
