I sent an email over to Avago Technologies today to inquire about where to obtain some ADNS-9500 optical sensors. None of the US distributors were stocking them, so they indicated they may be able to send me some samples. Hopefully I will be able to begin working with these to see just how good this can get. I really like the ADNS-7550 version I'm using now, but I'm eager to see their better chip in action. I'm crossing my fingers that a small package of them shows up.
In the mean time, I've taken a little break. The PCB cap needed to be redesigned with more internal clearance, but the milling of the new design failed...again. It is very frustrating having a small CNC router that is just not so good at prototyping these larger parts. Maybe one of these days I'll get my hands on a little more beefy CNC mill for doing these sorts of things...
