Using 8 pin CMOS mouse sensor in project

I just want to be able to simply get values out of it for now. What exactly would I need to go about learning in order to do this? PAW3101DB pdf, PAW3101DB Description, PAW3101DB Datasheet, PAW3101DB view ::: ALLDATASHEET ::: It says it uses serial, but I'm not sure how to interface it or which pins to use. I have an arduino uno.

it sues SPI , i think; this data sheet is better: http://www.pixart.com.tw/upload/PAW3101DB_SPEC_V32_20080526_20100319090338.pdf

SPI - Arduino Reference

That's the big issue. I have no idea how to operate serial communications between it. I am a pretty big noob when it comes to electronics.

Have a look at Nick Gammon's tutorials on his web site (he's a member here, look him up, I can never remember the URL).
