I've been shopping for machine vision cameras, I need very high fps/low resolution/monochrome, and I'm finding everything that fits what I'm looking for is too expensive, typically $500 without a lens and only kinda fast enough.
This ADNS 3080 mouse sensor is on ebay with a great little lens and breakout board for $10 and seems to fit my requirements. Has anyone played with mouse sensors with teensy and know what kind of speed I can expect for using it as a camera? I can also run the machine vision code on the teensy, it's pretty lightweight and optimized and would certainly be faster than trying to pass the video along to my PC, I want to use a spare teensy 3.2 I have but can use a 3.6 if it's not enough. I have a beaglebone black and an arty fpga if that still isn't enough, but I don't know how to use either of those well, I'd rather use teensy . The 3080 datasheet says framerates of over 6400 can be done, seems too good to be true for the price. Can I really access full camera frames at that speed on a microcontroller or is it just an x/y tracking movement I get from the 3080 processing the feed internally?
I prototyped my machine vision code with a ps3 camera, 183fps, and processing.org, works great, but I need more FPS! I don't want do admit how many hours it took researching the scientific/industrial camera market before coming to the conclusion to use mouse sensors.
