PAA5100JE Near Optical Flow SPI Breakout

The PAA5100JE sensor is used in robot vacuum cleaners and uses a low-resolution camera and some clever algorithms to detect motion of surfaces. This sensor has a super close range of 15-35mm so it’s suitable for use with a variety of different surfaces. If you’re looking for a similar sensor with a bigger range (for attaching to something like a drone) check out our PMW3901 breakout. You can use this breakout completely solder-free with any Breakout Garden with an SPI slot, for ease of prototyping.
