14 years agoHi Hardik,
You mention about feeding the PIXCLK which I believe is an output from the camera that dictates the pixel output freq. Shouldnt the camera input clock go to the EXTCLK pin? However, I am trying to find the default PIXCLK freq of the camera. Like say, if I use a 27Mhz clock input to the cam..what would the Pixle output rate be? Any thoughts? Thanks! Regards, BVP --- Quote Start --- Hi Shahzad, Ya thats true, the code you get with the camera is for DE2 board. You simply need to write your own VHDL code to capture frames. It is simple, just feed in the frequency you use for your system in the PIXCLK. You will start receiving the PIXELS on the output by default, that is a free running mode of the camera. If you need to use the camera to take pictures, you have to develop I2C controller and then use the interface to TRIGGER the image. one more tip, in the free running mode, just do not worry about the rising edge and falling edges as mentioned in the manual. I did all the stuff only on the rising edge and it worked nicely. Best regards, Hardik --- Quote End ---
