I would like to extract the actual images captured by a single chip optical mouse sensor, specifically the ADNS-2700. As apposed to the various other tutorials on the internet that use a micro controller to talk to the SPI interface of the imaging chip (like this), the chip I am trying to work with has a USB interface integrated.
ADNS-2700 Datasheet
System: Windows 7, Python2.7, PyUSB 1.0
I have successfully extracted the button presses, velocity, and scroll wheel following this example:
import usb.core
import usb.util
VENDOR_ID = 6447
PRODUCT_ID = 2326
# find the USB device
device = usb.core.find(idVendor=VENDOR_ID,
idProduct=PRODUCT_ID)
# use the first/default configuration
device.set_configuration()
# first endpoint
endpoint = device[0][(0,0)][0]
# read a data packet
attempts = 10
data = None
while attempts > 0:
try:
data = device.read(endpoint.bEndpointAddress,
endpoint.wMaxPacketSize)
print data
except usb.core.USBError as e:
data = None
if e.args == ('Operation timed out',):
attempts -= 1
continue
Which extracts data like:
array('B', [0, 0, 16, 0, 0])
array('B', [0, 0, 240, 255, 0])
array('B', [0, 0, 16, 0, 0])
array('B', [0, 0, 240, 255, 0])
I need help extracting the raw image data!
I am a USB noob which is probably causing most of the problem.
On page 18 of the datasheet, there is a list of USB commands. The one that looks promising is:
Mnemonic Command Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Get_Vendor_Test C0 01 00 00 xx 00 01 00 Read register xx
Then on page 28, there is a list of registers of which this looks promising:
Address Register Name Register Type Access Reset Value
----------------------------------------------------------------------
0x0D PIX_GRAB Device Read only 0x00
However, I have tried:
device.write(endpoint.bEndpointAddress,'C0:01:00:00:0A:00:01:00',0)
which results in a:
usb.core.USBError: [Errno None] libusb0-dll:err [_usb_setup_async] invalid endpoint 0x81
as well as:
device.read(endpoint.bEndpointAddress, 0x0D)
which simply times out.
Complete Solution:
import usb.core

import numpy as np
VENDOR_ID = 6447
PRODUCT_ID = 2326
# find the USB device
device = usb.core.find(idVendor=VENDOR_ID,

device.set_configuration()
# In order to read the pixel bytes, reset PIX_GRAB by sending a write command

)
# Read all the pixels (360 in this chip)

pixList.append(response)
pixelArray = np.asarray(pixList)
pixelArray = pixelArray.reshape((19,19))
plt.imshow(pixelArray)
