Hi all,

I'm looking to purchase the C3088 CMOS imaging sensor. I plan to
interface it with a PIC microcontroller in order to do some image
processing on-board my robot. I was wondering if someone could take a
moment and answer a couple of questions for me.

(1) Would this be reasonable code for capturing a frame of data from
the C3088

Well, if you're interested in switching over to Atmel's line of AVR
microcontrollers, this is certainly feasible. Check out:
http://www.jrobot.net/Projects/AVRcam.html

This open-source system was developed for testing out various embedded
image processing ideas. Paul C's comments are somewhat on target
though. It would probably make sense to sit down and figure out what
your frame-rate requirements are, what you want to do with the data,
and how you plan on actually getting access to the data.

There are schematics, source code, and a Forums setup to discuss this
topic at the above website. Stop by...
