TCM8240 Camera Breakout

TCM8240 Camera Breakout

A simple breakout board for the TCM8240MD 1300x1040 CMOS camera, using a 6MHz oscillator. This breakout is meant as an easier way to use the camera and not a plug and play design.

The project that we used to test the basic functionality uses an LPC2103 and can be found here. Note, there is an included frame grab utility located in the ppm-fd directory that only works in Linux, but if all you want to do is compile the project, Linux is not required.

Note: This board is on a 0.05" grid.
