New results on worm detection by hacked optical mouse

For more information about this project check the recent posts on this blog.

I just updated the pd-patch and the serial communication with the arduino. it now allows the frame-grabbing of the full 18x18 pixels from the mouse sensor, adns2610, with a reasonable framerate of 8fps. see download link below.

in addition i used the hacked optical mouse to detect the motion of nematodes, anguila aceti, and got some really clear results, both in the quality of the image and a substantial change in the SQL value. due to some grabbing issues when recording the screen the values are a bit delayed in the image above.
