I have a Nokia 6600 cmos camera. I want to use it on my propeller MSR1 and use it through viewport for object following and recoqnition.

Does someone have the code to run this camera and who can tell me what pins to attach to the propeller?

Pinouts for Nokia camera module connector Mirage 1.3mp
Connector:

    Much more information is needed, like a data sheet!

    You still need a data sheet, that's just a schematic.

    So what do you need the datasheet for? The pinouts are clear right? It has no pcb just 14 copper contactpoints. I just don't know how to drive them. Isn't there a universal piece of code that will send the signal through?

    The data sheet is essential for things like signal timings, signal levels, supply voltage, etc.

    supply voltage seems to be 5V for every cmos that i found. Just to be sure i can connect it through 3.3V. Signal timings can be adjusted through Viewport.

    If the OP thinks he doesn't need the data sheet and can get it working with Viewport, he obviously hasn't got a clue!

    Indeed, i don't!

    Sorry if i offended anyone.
    I used the basic atom pro 28 before. This is something totally different. I have some form of dislecty and can learn a lot from just reading the code. But reading a manual to learn the code doesn't work for me.

    So if i ask stupid questions, please keep this in mind.

    Since this seems to be a long shot, i had a look into the mousecam with the A2610 chip. So i attached it. Adjusted the pins in the ADNS2620 code, but nothing in viewport. It does connect. But ibsee no values and no video. What do i do wrong?

    You need an oscilloscope for that sort of thing.

    Why? I allready have the code to make it work. And the chip is connected the right way. It should be able to use viewport as an osciloscope right?

    Hi Botdocter,

    I would guess that you're impatient to connect the electronics together, apply power; then take a bash at
    the coding and devise a solution experimentally.

    Unfortunately it doesn't often work that way: it's much better to really research your design, look for the
    forum's input, then think hard on the advice received. Then build up the kit; check *everything* twice
    before applying power. Then work hard at faultfinding, one section at a time until things start to go your way.

    You will still fry stuff, but a lot less of it!

    Some of the folks on the forum are extremely experienced and give fantastic advice. For example, Leon
    mentioned that you'd be best off using an oscilloscope to progress the mousecam issue. I know from working
    with him that he's been at the top of this game for fifty years. I'm quite prepared to argue with him but would
    expect to be proved wrong about 100% of the time.

    Regards,

    T o n y

    If you have the code to make it work why can't you just connect it up and try it?

    You might consider reading a few camera threads about how people get them to work at the various surplus electronic sellers. You might even find one that talks about your Nokia.

    I re-read my post and my words sounded a bit cocky. This was never my intention and i appoligize...
    What i meant to say whas;

    "Can you explain me why i need the osciloscope?"

    I allready have my answer so thanks guys.

    Hi, here is probably datasheet for the camera

    I've done this with the OV6620 (the camera you got with the CMUCam) but every camera is different and my asm is hideous, so not sure I can help. One issue is going to be frame rate since it's all serial so has to go very fast...
