Deutsch: Funktionsprinzip einer optomechanischen Maus:
1: Beim Bewegen der Maus rollt die Kugel.
2: X- und Y-Achsen übernehmen den jeweiligen Anteil der Bewegung.
3: Über eine Welle werden die entsprechenden Lochscheiben gedreht.
4: Infrarot-LEDs leuchten durch die Löcher.
5: Sensoren empfangen die Lichtpulse, die in X- und Y-Geschwindigkeiten umgesetzt werden.
English: Mouse mechanism diagram
Español: Diagrama del mecanismo de movimiento de un mouse mecánico estándar.
1: Pulling the mouse turns the ball. 2: X and Y rollers grip the ball and transfer movement. 3: Optical encoding disks include light holes. 4: Infrared LEDs shine through the disks. 5: Sensors gather light pulses to convert to X and Y velocities.
