Overview

ADNS-3080 optical flow sensor module is easy to use with Arduino boards. The sensor is based on ADNS3080 technology, it is a good solution for a displacement sensor with resolution of 30 x 30 pixels and high speed frame rate from 2000 to 6400 frames per second, which contribute to high performance in low light. It provides SPI interface, which helps in a lot easier connection with most microprocessors.

Specifications

• Chip: ADNS 3080
• 30 x 30 pixel frame
• frame update rate: 2000 to 6400 fps
• SPI interface
• 8mm lens 11 deg FOV
• M12x0.5 standard lens mount

Use pins to connect  VCC, GND, MISO, MOSI, SCLK and NCS to your Arduino board . Load test code , then connect to a serial monitor.
