CMUCam3

I will soon begin with a CMUCam3, mostly for fun.
Is there any project using Propeller and CMUCam3?
Is there any good information out there besides CMUCam.org?

    There are a couple of projects with color cameras, look into the forums.

    But with CMUCam3?
    It really helps if it's with the same kind of camera [noparse];)[/noparse]

    I have code that uses the cmucam3, I started with the cmucam2 code from the obex but had to modify it because a couple of the messages are different. If you look in the 4 port serial object on obex one of the examples drives a gps, debug and the cmucam3.

    Thanks!

    Any other good source of info about CMUCam3?

    What firmware is used in that obex example?

    The default supplied firmware. I haven't found much in terms of cmucam3 stuff. There is a bunch of cmucam2 non-prop stuff that I used as examples though you have to check whether everythings the same - almost everything is, I think the difference I found is the cmucam that parallax sells has different firmware than the standard cmucam2 and the prop examples I found were for the parallax version.

    One note, make sure you have the latest datasheets, the earlier data sheets had the TTL level serial port pinout wrong. If you have a meter check the power pin on the serial port its changes place in the data sheets! Thats the easiest way I found to tell if you have the correct datasheet. Also the serial port is 3.3V (not 5V has the datasheet says), its 5V tolerant but its output voltage is 3.3V so the 1K serial resistors are not required but it still works with them (also saves you if you wired usign the old datasheet).

    I built an ASCII webcam for the Prop using the cmucam's camera module, if it counts?

    Cmucam3 is really best suited for being a project's main cpu I think. Cmucam2 is interesting. Note that when you buy it, the cmucam3 emulates a cmucam2, minus a servo mount.

    Email me (spiritplumber@gmail.com) and I'll turn ont he camera on a serial-telnet bridge so you can look at its output [noparse]:)[/noparse] I cannot just keep it on 24/7 because I only built one and am still tweaking it.

    I am trying to connect a CMUCAM3 and a Propeller.
    Did your project progress and is this connection working ?
    I found objects for MUCAM on the Obex , but it seems it is rather for CMUCAM1 or 2 ?
    The TTL connection on CMUCAM 3 use 115 200 baudrate ; Is such speed possible with Fullduplexserial plus or extended Fulluduplex?

    Could you share the code with me ? I am a rookie, my email: zikasyp@gmail.com , thank you!
