 | | Directly connecting a digital camera module to the RCX
|
|
We started a new ambitious project. And this time, we are not certain that we will succeed. So, any help is welcome. (URL) Stef, Ralph ... this is a call for help. We want to implement a simple I2C bus to have at least 50kHz that we need to access (...) (19 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) You could probably succeed in doing that - but why? The RCX doesn't have enough memory to load even a single photo and it's teeny-tiny 8 bit CPU will take an ETERNITY to process whatever it can get at. Unless you have a very strange (...) (19 years ago, 16-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Good reply. 1. The C3088 module allows framing, so we can reduce the data. 2. Why? Because we are in an educational environment, where the bulk is to teach how to program micro-controllers with the background thought that if the students learn (...)

(...) Hello Claude, What about this one? (URL) was also an RCX to I2C implementation a while ago in Elektor. If you want I can find it again... Philo (19 years ago, 16-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hi Philo, Merci beaucoup. I know this Elektor project (4/2002 German edition). Very well made! But, as I understand it, the communication speed might be too slow. However I'm not sure about this, because changing camera settings does only (...) (19 years ago, 16-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) "Bit rate on the I2C bus is approximately 100KHz." But the overall limiting factor is the use of IR serial link, 4800 bps at best... Philo (19 years ago, 16-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics)
