Position detecting module

Abstract

This invention relates to a method of sensing positions in application such as mobile robotic applications. The main objective of this invention is to overcome certain issues related to position detection mechanisms available in mobile robotic applications and other relevant applications that have position detection methods. Specifically the invention related to moving application to identify its distance traveled with a new optical design to PAN 3101 low cost CMOS optical sensor. PAN 3101 sensor process the images that are taken through the optical design and gives the position in terms of relative distances traveled in vertical and horizontal directions. Microcontroller that utilize this technology. So this module can be used in applications that needs smooth position detection capabilities.
