Salvage Parts From a Computer Mouse
Salvaging electronic parts is a must for any serious DIY’er. Not only to you save on costs to purchase parts new, but you are helping the environment and increasing your changes that when you want to start a project, you already have the parts that you need to complete it. No more waiting for the mail, or driving to the store!
Hack-a-day ripped apart an old school mouse to see what kind of useful stuff they could get out of it and found some great components. They found several buttons and sensors, including rotary encoders which can be used for measuring movements in robotics projects.
The guide details how to take apart the mouse, identify any potentially useful parts, and explains what they could be used for. It’s pretty interesting to see all of the good stuff you can pull out of there. Go take a look and hopefully it will inspire you not to throw that old ugly mouse out, and instead start working on a cool project with it.
