Connecting CMOS Camera Breakout Board to GM862 Eval Board?

Hi All,

I just purchased the “GM862 Evaluation Board - USB” and the GM862 module. It has yet to come in, but today I got the “CMOS Camera Breakout Board”, http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc … s_id=7904# and E700 CMOS camera, http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc … cts_id=637

My question is after looking at the photos of the Eval board and CMOS Camera break out board I don’t have a clue how to wire the two together. I’m assuming this question has been asked before, but after spending about an hour serching for the answer I gave up.

Anyone able to help me out? Thanks!

See viewtopic.php?t=2442 for all the past discussion on using this camera. There’s a lot more involved than just wiring the two together.

Thanks. I’ve been looking through that long thread for about a week now and almost all of the links there are no longer valid since this was posted back in 2006. Sounds like maybe I picked the wrong camera to try? Seems like the AT interface is pretty simple for the software side. Guess I’ll keep searching. Thanks!

The camera AT interface in the Telit modules works only with a specific Agilent camera module that’s long since been discontinued. Unless you can somehow find a source of those cameras, those AT commands are useless.

Thanks for the explination. I guess I was confused then. Is this the only source to connect a camera to this cellular module? Sorry for all the questions.
