Poor mouse emulation

[Tonymazzz]

Hello sir!

I have mounted the sensor on a kind of mouse and I use it as a laser, everything works but when jumping from surfaces to different ones it behaves as if it vibrates or stops for moments until you reload a surface that the sensor like, let's say it's hard to draw a circle in Paint without shaking or losing track a bit. Any advice please?

Thank you very much in advance!!

This is not really supposed to be used as a mouse on a surface since the minimum separation distance between sensor and surface is supposed to be 80 mm. If the surface distance changes abruptly, or more likely, if there are multiple surfaces then the sensor will not output accurate data. But as for a fix for this I think you will need to contact the manufacturer PixArt. Note that there is a limit to the speed that the sensor can be used as well, which IIRC is ~7 rads/second, so in addition to a minimum distance constraint there is a speed constraint. Maybe by slowing down your motions a bit you might get better results?

Thanks for your quick response!

I am using it from 1 meter to arround 2-5 meters. I reduced from arround 260hz to 60hz and looks the same :$

Right now I am using it with daylight inside a house and it seems that wooden doors or smooth surfaces do not capture them and when it is night the same thing happens but even worse: S

What happens when you slow down the hand motion?

On the other hand, could you give me some advice on how to reduce the vibration of when it is in my hand, something like make it smoother please sir?
