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 ratón mecánico estándar.
Al mover el ratón, rota la bola.
Los rodillos adosados a la bola, transforman el movimiento en sus componentes X e Y.
La velocidad y dirección del movimiento, es codificada por la rueda perforada.
El LED de infrarrojos, luce a través de las perforaciones de la ruedas perforada.
Un sensor de infrarrojos recive los destellos infrarrojos, y el ordenador los traduce en sentido y velocidad.
