PMW3360 Module Library for Arduino

This library allows an Arduino board to easily communicate with PMW3360 Module.
This library is designed for https://www.tindie.com/products/jkicklighter/pmw3360-motion-sensor/
However, other setup will also work (e.g., https://easyeda.com/Justice/New_Project-cc5450b338fd4d55bef91ec37025ab6a).

For the most basic example, please take look at [basic_polling] example.
[basic_interrupt] example is using movement interrupt pin (MT) on the module. It does SPI transmission only if any movement is detects.
[HID_mouse] example will work as a regular mouse with left/right buttons.

PMW3360 class

  • void begin(unsigned int ss_pin, unsigned int CPI = 800)
    • Initialize the sensor. ss_pin is Slave Select pin on the module. Optionally CPI value can be set.
  • void setCPI(unsigned int newCPI); / unsigned int getCPI();
    • Set/get CPI (Count per Inch).
  • PMW3360_DATA readBurst();
    • Read sensor motion data using burst mode operation.
    • PMW3360_DATA is a struct that contains various information about a motion.
      • PMW3360_DATA.isMotion : bool, True if a motion is detected.
      • PMW3360_DATA.isOnSurface : bool, True when a chip is on a surface
      • PMW3360_DATA.dx, data.dy : integer, displacement on x/y directions.
      • PMW3360_DATA.SQUAL : byte, Surface Quality register, max 0x80
        * Number of features on the surface = SQUAL * 8
      • PMW3360_DATA.rawDataSum : byte, It reports the upper byte of an 18‐bit counter
        which sums all 1296 raw data in the current frame;
        * Avg value = Raw_Data_Sum * 1024 / 1296
      • PMW3360_DATA.maxRawData : byte, Max/Min raw data value in current frame, max=127
        PMW3360_DATA.minRawData
      • PMW3360_DATA.shutter : unsigned int, shutter is adjusted to keep the average
        raw data values within normal operating ranges.
  • byte readReg(byte reg_addr);
    • Read register value from the module.
  • void writeReg(byte reg_addr, byte data);
    • Write register value to the module.
