anyone interface a c328R-2820BW camera to a pic?

[starfire151]

Has anyone successfully gotten a C328R-2820BW (or a variation) to work with a PIC? The C328 has a 4-wire interface: 3.3VDC, TXD, RXD, and Gnd. It runs on a serial interface at serial interface rates up to 115kbps.

I was thinking of trying to connect the camera to the serial port of a PIC and write the image data to an SD card connected to the SPI port.

Has anyone done anything like this?

Thanks for the links. I was actually looking for someone that had experience in interfacing the camera to a PIC. There are supposed to be some subtleties to the interface for communication, etc.

Has anyone interfaced this camera to a PIC?

How do you re-assemble a downloaded image into a .jpg image viewable on a PC? Is it just a matter of downloading a .jpg compressed image from the camera and storing it onto a memory card with a .jpg file extension?

I assume that this is the same camera as the ITM-C328 digital colour camera? Takes jpegs and allows RS232 comms to control it.

Done the whole lot for a recent customer project - I save to ram and then upload the picture to an ftp site?

If so, let me know

might help if I'd included an email

re-edit this so it makes sense (ie remove spaces and ats and replace dots)
