CMUcam2+ Features

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since the board is designed to work with microcontrollers, it has a serial interface using TTL voltage levels (0-5V). When using the CMUcam2+ with an RS-232 serial port, such as on a PC or USB-to-serial adapter, you will need a level-shifter to convert TTL signals to RS-232 signals. You can purchase a Serial Interface Connector to convert the signals.

When compared with our other CMUcam2 products, the CMUcam2+ has these important differences:

Thinner profile
15% lighter weight
Uses only the more capable OV6620 camera*
No level-shifter on board for more efficient connection to +5V controllers
Minimal packaging: does not include printed manual, AC adapter, or CD-ROM
Different connector arrangement with horizontal pins for easier stacking

The CMUcam2+ has the following functionality:

Track user-defined colors at up to 50 Frames Per Second (FPS)
Track motion using frame differencing at 26 FPS
Find the centroid of any tracked data
Gather mean color and variance information
Gather a 28 bin histogram of each color channel
Manipulate horizontally pixel-differenced images
Transfer a real-time binary bitmap of the tracked pixels in an image
Arbitrary image windowing
Adjust the camera's image properties
Dump a raw image (single or multiple channels)
Up to 160 X 255 resolution
Supports multiple baudrates
Control 5 servo outputs
Automatically use servos to do two axis color tracking. Servo 0 is for pan. Servo 1 is for tilt.
