Adding a 640x480 camera to your Zedboard

Former Member

Hi all.

I've adapted a low-cost VGA camera module to interface with the Zedboard over PMODA and PMODB. About $15 worth of hardware and no soldering to give your Zedboard eyes!

As the PL has four PMODs you should even be able to give it stereo vision.

It is currently showing a picture on the Zedboards Analogue VGA out, but I want to test and polish it just a little more before I release the code - tweak some of the camera's registers values and so on.

I've added a community project, and will put the code up as soon it is ready. If in the short term you would like the code, just email or message me.

Kind regards

Mike

    The project is pretty much complete - I would like to add a way to store the image in the DDR memory, but that is beyond my skills at the moment.

    I've also discovered that the cameras I am using do not have infra-red filters, so the colours are all mixed up.

    Also, although the cameras are 640x480 on a 25MHz clock they are only 30 frames per second, as a pixel requires two clocks to transfer.
