Description
Product information "PAA5100JE Near Optical Flow SPI Breakout"
The PAA5100JE sensor is used in robotic hoovers and utilises a low resolution camera and some clever algorithms to detect movement of surfaces. This sensor has a super close range of 15-35mm, making it suitable for a variety of surfaces. If you're looking for a similar sensor with a longer range (to attach to a drone, for example), check out our PMW3901 breakout.
You can use this breakout completely solderless with any breakout garden with an SPI slot to make prototyping easier.
Features
- PAA5100JE-Q optical tracking sensor(datasheet)
- Two white LEDs on board for illumination

- Field of view: 42°
- Maximum speed: 1.14 metres per second (with sensor 25mm from surface)
- 6mA typical power consumption
- SPI interface
- 3.3V or 5V compatible
- Reverse polarity protection
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi and Arduino
- Dimensions: approx. 24mm x 24.5mm x 5mm (L x W x H, including components)
- Python library
Software
We have adapted our PWM3901 Python library so that it also works with this sensor. It makes reading out the x/y movement values and their magnitude really easy. Use the following line at the beginning of your code to make sure it is set up correctly:
from pmw3901 import PAA5100Connect to your Raspberry Pi
If you are not using a breakout garden, you can connect your Near Optical Flow Sensor Breakout to your Raspberry Pi as follows.
Our library is set to use the front SPI slot by default: BCM 7 for CS, BCM 11 for SCK, BCM 10 for MOSI, BCM 9 for MISO, and BCM 19 for the INT pin.
Here you can see which pins you need to connect between your near optical flow sensor breakout and your Pi's GPIO(note that this is BCM pin numbering):
- 3-5V to any 5V or 3V pin
- CS to BCM 7
- SCK to BCM 11
- MOSI to BCM 10
- MISO to BCM 9
- INT to BCM 19
- GND to any ground pin

Optimize your Raspberry Pi - with Pimoroni
Pimoni is the expert when it comes to equipping your Raspberry Pi with high-quality add-on modules. The successful company was founded in 2012 in Sheffield, England, and now also has a branch in Essen, Germany. According to the University of Sheffield, Pimoroni is even considered one of the fastest growing manufacturing companies in the UK.
The electronics specialist has the right solution for almost every need around the Raspberry Pi. The product range also includes the Pimoroni Fan Shim, a powerful 30mm CPU fan for the Raspberry Pi, which is one of the top sellers from Pimoroni. The Fan Shim manages a powerful 4,200 RPM and delivers significant added value by optimizing the thermal performance of your Raspberry Pi. Compatibility exists with the Raspberry Pi 4, but also with the 3 B+ and 3 A+ models.
The fan is equipped with RGB LED and a tactile switch, making it wonderfully controllable. The LED serves as an indicator to track the fan status and CPU load/temperature. The tactile switch is also handy: With the help of the included Python library and a daemon, you can program it to switch between temperature-controlled automatic mode and manual mode. Thanks to its "friction-fit" header, the Pimoroni Fan Shim can easily be plugged onto the pins of your mini computer and is ready to go without soldering. In general, the installation is uncomplicated and should not take more than two minutes. While the fan is doing its job, the noise level is very low: The maximum value is only 18.6 dB.
Apart from the Pimoroni Fan Shim, many other top products from Pimoroni are available at Berrybase. The Pibow Coupé 4 is recommended for all owners of a Raspberry Pi 4: The compact case reliably protects your mini computer from external influences like dust or shocks. All ports remain open and thus accessible. The high-quality processed and easy to mount frame for the official 7" Raspberry Pi touchscreen display also fulfills its protective function perfectly. With the Pirate Audio HAT you get a first-class 3W stereo amplifier for your mini computer: Use the module in combination with your Raspberry Pi and your speakers to control the playback of your favorite music and to create powerful sound.
Depending on what you have in mind, you can also use other modules from Pimoroni, such as LED sensors, camera modules or the Pico HAT Hacker.

Safety instructions
- Avoid contact with water, moisture or extreme temperatures.
- When handling electricity, ensure that the module is de-energised.
- Connect the connections correctly; reverse polarity can damage the module and other components.
- Only operate sensors within the intended voltage range; check the technical specifications.
- Do not subject to mechanical stress, bend or drop to avoid damage.
- Dispose of in accordance with local regulations for electronic waste.
- Keep away from children and animals, as small parts can be swallowed.
- In the event of recognisable damage or malfunctions, take out of service immediately and do not continue to use.
- Avoid direct sunlight and magnetic fields, as these can impair the function.
- Do not carry out any unauthorised modifications or repairs in order not to jeopardise safety and the warranty.
