CMU Cam App Mod - Pinouts.

I·am using the CMU cam App Mod on a Javelin development board.

The CMU·IDC pins take up the whole header on the Javelin board. I want to use some of the unused outputs but·don't seem to be able to find any details of the pinouts for the CMU App Mod board header.

Does anyone know where I can find them?

Thank's,

Istha

    Thank's for that.

    It's not the Javelin I have a problem with; those pinouts are printed on the board.

    It's the pins from the CMU board that are confusing me.........

    Look for the CMUcam manual from Carnegie Mellon. it has all the pinouts. The Parallax board is the same, just not as populated.

    Thank's Larry.

    I have the manual, it came with the camera. I've also checked out the website.........no pinouts.

    I've even traced pins from the CMU board to the header. I just don't want to fry something.

    If you have the full manual, it has the pinouts--also a schematic of the fully populated board.
    The Boebot appmod manual doesn't have all the info.

    here's the link to the manualwww.cs.cmu.edu/~cmucam/Downloads/CMUcamManual.pdf

    I got it by just Googling "CMUcam manual" (third hit). It is the manual you should use.

    Note that there is a reference to removing the Max232 chip on the board. Ignore that. Your board doesn't have the chp on it.

    Just to get you started--

    I don't know if the Parallax version has the regulator installed or not. If it does, you can use the regular power pins shown in the Power picture.
    Otherwise, you will need to add the regulator. Power the camera with 7-10 V . If you use more voltage, you will probably need to heat sink the regulator. It gets hot otherwise.


    The TTL serial port info is also there. I have included a clipping of the pinout. in the other attachment. The references in the picture are to SX and PC. The SX is the one on the board. PC goes to your Stamp.

    OK,

    I think I have enough info now.

    Many thank's for your support. I know that this is why forums exist, but it still takes good people to make them work.
