shibo - @Mustafa7 can you please share the wire...

mention can you please share the wireless board you're creating and what optical sensor you're planning to use? I too am looking for an optical sensor maybe we can decide on one to pre order on jlcpcb if we can find the best one

<@1079361271687807026> can you please share the wireless board you're creating and what optical sensor you're planning to use? I too am looking for an optical sensor maybe we can decide on one to pre-order on jlcpcb if we can find the best one

https://tscircuit.com/MustafaMulla29/wireless-mouse-pcb#files its already done building it, just have to order it. Waiting for the sensor to come in stock.

i think you guys should maybe find a sensor that is good/cheap that we can use across many projects, then we will order 50 or something

trying to open an "Optical Sensors" category to jlcsearch https://github.com/tscircuit/jlcsearch/pull/603

guys please only post screenshots of AI with a comment- we are going to crack down on fake engineering
shibo
the one you're using is a lot better but more than twice the price, the cheaper PMW3610 could work if the mouse you're making is not a high performance gaming mouse

ik, we're deciding on which to preorder so we all use the same sensor
shibo
do you need the better more expensive one? or is the cheap version good for you?
Mustafa7
Yea works
shibo
<@757706909351411845> I guess it would be the cheaper PMW3610 then, it costs around 1 dollar when the other costs around 2.5 dollars
Mustafa7
<@778624824875941908> what should we do?
shibo
i'm ok either way, if the cheaper PMW3610 works for you then pre order it
Mustafa7
yea PMW3610 works but ill have to redesign the board to use this sensor instead. I think it'll work. <@757706909351411845> Should we preorder? I never pre ordered, whats the process and how many should we order?
Mustafa7
PMW3610 is $1.0039 and the one my board uses is $2.4873
