Hello,

As a demo of the stampdock software i made a "basic stamp"/"javelin stamp" program
that can use an ADNS-2610 optical sensor of a simple logitech mouse as an 18x18 pixel camera.

All you got to do is solder 4 wires to a mouse, and desolder 2 pins.
And if you want to extend the focus replace the lens with the lens of an old CDrom drive.

So if you ever thought of using the sensor of a mouse as a camera for your robot,
then with this software you can see what the robot sees.

An older stampdock demo is the stampdock oscilloscope software: http://apsdev.com/stampscope/
