Well, I see some light at the end of the tunnel now. I can see the init end message comming through. So, I guess camera works. I’ll try to send commands to see…

Product SEN-10061 | about 4 months ago

Hi!

Does anybody know where I can see an example of usage of this camera (the TTL version)? I’m probably doing something wrong and I can’t get any data out of it. According to the manual, pin 1 is +5, pin 2 ground, pin 3 is Tx and pin 4 is Rx. No idea about the 5th pin in the conector.

As I wasn’t getting anything with the example in the libraries I tried directly sending a reset command through serial 1 (ard mega) but I get no reply whatsoever. Checking the signal in an osc, I can see the “commands” being sent but I get no reply. I’m using default 38400 baudrate. Also, when I check the Rx pin in the arduino with the Osc I see the line at about 2.7 V (supply is +5) which I don’t think is correct. Any idea what I may be wrong? I’m getting nuts!! Thanks!

I also keep several of them at home. Somehow they remind me of Xmas and Santa’s presents :)

News - Free Day 2012 Recap | about 5 months ago

The worst thing about Free day were those insane messages from IT when you didn’t win. I was trapped into a closed loop. Each time I said, “this is the last one” I saw a message like “don’t give up” or “you may be a winner with the next one”…XD

It was a little bit frustrating (and half of the total captchas must be mine) but it was fun. I was going to place an order either way :)

Thanks for all the events you prepare, especially the online ones. Great web and great products!
