The SparkFun Qwiic Optical Tracking Odometry Sensor empowers you to elevate your robot's navigation capabilities with exceptional precision and streamlined integration. This compact, all-in-one sensor leverages the power of the PAA5160E1 chip from PixArt Imaging Inc., delivering accurate dual-axis motion data across various hard floor surfaces. But that's not all! This sensor boasts a powerful built-in 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and an onboard microcontroller that performs real-time sensor fusion and tracking algorithms. The Optical Tracking Odometry board measures a mere 1in. by 1in. and boasts a smaller profile than its industry counterparts. Unlike bulkier options that require multiple boards, this sensor features a single-board design with an onboard tracking algorithm. User-friendly Arduino and Python libraries simplify integration, quickly getting you up and running. The PAA5160E1 chip offers exceptional tracking performance with a typical error rate of 3-5% within a working range of 10mm to 27mm. However, a calibration within the sensor's firmware can significantly reduce this error to under 1% in ideal conditions. This sensor excels at high-speed motion tracking of up to 2.5 meters per second, making it an excellent choice for navigating warehouse robots, commercial robots, and other fast-moving applications. Thanks to its Qwiic compatibility, the SparkFun sensor integrates seamlessly into your XRP or other robotics projects. This user-friendly interface eliminates complex wiring configurations and simplifies connection to other Qwiic-enabled components. The included Arduino and Python libraries and the onboard tracking algorithm in the firmware streamline the development process, allowing you to Note: This is a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT CLASSIFIED IEC 60825-1 2014 Get Started with the PAA5160E1 Optical Tracking Odometry Sensor Guide Features * STM32 * Arm® 32-bit Cortex®-M0+ CPU, frequency up to 48 MHz * -40°C to 85°C/105°C/125°C operating temperature * Up to 32 Kbytes of flash memory with protection * I2C address: 0x17 (fixed) * Optical Tracking Sensor - PAA5160 * Tracking Accuracy: 3-5% * Tracking speed: 2.5m/s * Working Distance to Tracking Surface: 10-27mm * Frame Rate: 20,000 fps * 6-DOF IMU Accelerometer * ±2/±4/±8/±16 g full scale * ±125/±250/±500/±1000/±2000 dps full scale Resources * Schematic * Eagle Files * Board Outline * Hookup Guide * Qwiic Info Page * XRP Info Page * Hardware GitHub Repo * Register Map * Optical Tracking Sensor - PAA5160 Datasheet * 6-DoF IMU - LSM6DSO Datasheet * Microcontroller - STM32C0 Datasheet Software Libraries: * Arduino Library GitHub Repo * Python Package GitHub Repo * Java Library GitHub Repo https://elecena.pl/product/26075975/sparkfun-optical-tracking-odometry-sensor-paa5160e1-qwiic 2024-06-14 https://elecena.pl/product/26075975/sparkfun-optical-tracking-odometry-sensor-paa5160e1-qwiic 2024-07-03 https://elecena.pl/product/26075975/sparkfun-optical-tracking-odometry-sensor-paa5160e1-qwiic 2024-09-18 https://elecena.pl/product/26075975/sparkfun-optical-tracking-odometry-sensor-paa5160e1-qwiic 2024-11-29 https://elecena.pl/product/26075975/sparkfun-optical-tracking-odometry-sensor-paa5160e1-qwiic 2024-11-30 https://elecena.pl/product/26075975/sparkfun-optical-tracking-odometry-sensor-paa5160e1-qwiic 2025-04-11 https://elecena.pl/product/26075975/sparkfun-optical-tracking-odometry-sensor-paa5160e1-qwiic 2025-11-28 https://elecena.pl/product/26075975/sparkfun-optical-tracking-odometry-sensor-paa5160e1-qwiic 2025-11-29
