I'm trying to connect the CMUcam2 to the BS2 BOE. How do I do it? It appears there is no simple way (i know the boe-bot cmucam1 plugs directly into the AppMod input. If you could tell me how to connect them manually, or if there is a simple way i have overlooked. Any info would help, thank you.

p.s. - I wouln't call people "jerk"... you would be surprised how many questions have been answered just by telling folks to read the manual...
From our Forum Guidelines (suggested reading)…

What Franklin is trying to tell you is that the manual will specify the connection method, protocol, voltage specifications or other important information necessary to talk to the CMUCam. At the very least you should provide a link to the manual so others can look at it to see this information.

According to a search over this time period, no one has found the answer.
The CMUcam manual is available but there are no diagrams that
include pinouts for the Parallax product. Parallax never released a
Parallax specification sheet showing the pinouts. The CMUcam manual
for download applies to other camera models - even the boards appear
different. Plus, there are at least two versions of the parallax product.
The software, written for Parallax, appears to access more ports
than required by the camera board. There is clearly a pinout of the
connector on BoeBot, however, not all those pins may be used by
the CMUcam. There are several descriptions of which ports are used
and their routing, however, these postings conflict with each other.
I wrote to Parallax for the information and was told to write to the
manufacturer of the CMUcam. I have written, and if they provide
a pinout, it will be posted on the Parallax forum so everyone can
benefit.
Also, at the mentioned Parallax product site, this code is posted:
Boe-Bot CMUcam Source Code 1 (.bs2)
Boe-Bot CMUcam Source Code 2 (.bs2)
Boe-Bot CMUcam Source Code 3 (.bs2)
Boe-Bot CMUcam Source Code 4 (.bs2)
Boe-Bot CMUcam Source Code 5 (.bs2)
Has anyone had any luck in successfully running these on their
Parallax BoeBot CMUcam?
