Maximum distance between Leopard Board and image sensor/camera

Maximum distance between Leopard Board and image sensor/camera

  • Hey,

    I have made some successful tests to capture some images with the camera (5MP) when I plug in the camera module board (LI-MOD02).

    But then, I'd like to place the camera further from the board (approx. 1 meter) using 2 Samtec cables (that fit well with the existing connectors) and it does not work well. I'm getting a noisy image where a few features can be recognized and the colors are completely messed up.

    I measured the resistor through the cable using my multimeter and I'm getting low values (around 1.2ohms).

    Any idea on how to improve the connexion?

    Thanks,

    Mike

  • 1meter is too long for high frequency signal, 50mm~100mm should be the Max .length, or it has to be differential signal.

  • How do I build a differential signal with the Leopard Board?

    Is there any chip that handles these signals?

  • FYI I am now using two flat ribbon cable (the FFSD-20-D-12.00-01-N from Samtec) connected one after the other and I'm getting an image out of it (although it's a bit purple in places that a bright, such as lamps). The length of the extension is 0.6m
