Road to Russia Saga continues 😉 We’re working on SNAPBOT I and SNAPBOT II today 😀
SNAPBOT I
SNAPBOT II
The first thing we do is interfacing an optical mouse to Arduino
we will put this on SNAPBOT II so we can get the trail of the movement by reading the x and y of the mouse
we have to carefully check the pin out and datasheet to make sure which port goes to where 😀
we use wires to check if we can read the data
we print the address but not yet getting the correct reading
the x y reading
checking the connection and ports
and then start soldering
but we have written the code to read x and y from the mouse, and also the code to display the reading into some movement trails like this 
still got LOTS of work to do but we won’t stop! we’ll be back soon for more update and progress!
