nice picture. --Cyberman 00:56, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Am I correct that the picture is drawn with a single optical encoder on each axis? I'm not really sure how that would work; you can get speed, but how do you get direction? It is possible to use a more complicated code on the wheels that would allow that, but that is not what is drawn. The howstuffworks page shows a mouse with a simple pattern like here, but two photosensors. That gives two signals (roughly) in quadrature, which allows you to determine the direction. The graphic is very nice though, very clear.

The image of the mouse shell is blurry
I suggest recapturing this image using the macro mode on the camera.

Readability
It would be easier to read the diagram if the text was directly below it instead of being 2 paragraphs down. Does it make sense to change the layout a bit? JWhiteheadcc (talk) 21:39, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
