The IR led I assume would be the transparent one and the detector would be
the black one? There are 2 leads on the transmitter and 3 on the detector,
how and where should I connect it to the HB? Any diagrams available?
If this works, I have about 10 or so mice that are broken (or will break).
I was also thinking that the switched used for the buttons on the mice,
might be used as some kind of impact trigger (i.e. robot runs into wall,
pushing modified button, sending signal to robot, who then modifies
direction). who would have thought that mice have any practical use? 8-)
Thanks for all your help on this!

| Hi Jeremy! I used the shaft encoder out of a track ball for my robotic project(same thing but a bit bigger). You do not need the IC out of the mouse just take the shaft encoder and use it with a IR led and detector pair. If you are going to use the (...)
