PMW3901 SPI Optical Flow Sensor Module

Use the PMW3901 module for optical motion detection in a supported robotics or flight-controller setup.

Add XY motion sensing to a compatible electronics project

• XY motion output supports movement tracking
• SPI provides a controller interface
• An internal oscillator avoids a separate clock source

Technical details

Sensor: PMW3901. Supply: 1.8-3.6 V. Interface: four-wire SPI, up to 2 MHz. Package: one sensor module.

Confirm board supply requirements and logic levels before wiring. Optical flow requires suitable texture and light; this is not a standalone GPS replacement.
