Post by thread:[EE]:Artificial Retina chip?

PICers, A *thousand* pardons for repeating - forgot the [EE]: tag :( This follows on from that USB/RS232/radio modems query. OK, USB connections using a PIC are a definite no go. Has anyone used or done anything with the Mitsubishi M64282FP Artificial Retina Chip? They're monochrome but if you could grab an image (any image) and send it down an RS232 connection - I'd settle for that!

People have interfaced stuff to a Gameboy Camera, which uses an Artificial Retina chip. I think someone was using a PIC... don't remember just now. Here's someone using an AVR: http://pages.zoom.co.uk/andyc/camera.htm This might be useful: http://www.lh.co.nz/hardware/ar/techinfo.htm -Randy Glenn Measure twice, cut once, curse, discard.

Isn't this the ccd in the game boy camera? ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Hynes <EraseMEian.hynesspam_OUTTakeThisOuTSTART.COM.AU> To: <PICLISTspam_OUTMITVMA.MIT.EDU> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 2:03 PM Subject: [EE]:Artificial Retina chip? {Quote hidden}> PICers, > > A *thousand* pardons for repeating - forgot the [EE]: tag :( > > This follows on from that USB/RS232/radio modems query.

Neat! And according to this: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/103-2030855-7787822 you can probably get the gameboy camera for less than the price of the chip inside it...sure beats all those USB thingies. /\/\/\/*=Martin {Original Message removed}

That link didn't work for me --but using the Amazon search engine, I got $25 for the gameboy camera thru them... If you were looking around a year ago, Target was running these on close out for less than $9. I didn't think I'd ever get around to using it so I didn't pick any up.... Wish I did now that I'm playing with my electric cats again... {Original Message removed}

Thanks guys. That link didn't work for me either. Hmmm ... gameboy cam, eh? Probably pick one up in a toy store someplace. I'll letya know how things go - 1st I'll need to get ahold of the retina then choose the pic. I'm thinking of using a 16f877. Overkill probably but the 'f84 probably wouldn't have enough pins to round.
