Nanocam 

Like the simplicity and cost. How about a bunch of these as a ball/sphere where the camera is on the opposite side of the screen so you see "through" the ball? Might be fun to play with such a ball

I am very excited about what you are doing here. Did you ever share what the large installation you originally were working on with these displays was?

Make invisibility cloaking tiles. One use could be to see through obstructions to your view when driving a car - for example the door beams framing the windshield.

I'm just thinking of the uses for somethign like this. thats cool as heck. it I can use them to make IP cameras. and make coustom systems with it for my solar and wind projects.

Build a shield covered with screens, and a matching array of cameras behind and use it as an invisibility cloak?

I don't have an exact figure for just the FPGA but approx 13mA at 1.8V , and 22mA @2.8v. This was for the larger FPGA on the proto so maybe a little less for this small one

Haven't looked at these ones but I suspect filter may be hard to remove - maybe even on chip. If not on the chip, you could use an external M12 type lens

Not yet - pre-production prototype PCBs are being assembled now!

I don't know much about pcb design but wow that prototype pcb is a thing of beauty! Great job mike your the reason I want to get into electrical engineering! Thanks for the inspiration!

it's the first step for the active camuflage

remove the IR filter from the camera module and make night vision camera or make 3d camera with two camera modules.

I use protel 98. Still rocks on my 486. It cost me $3K AUS back then, so I'll use it till I'm dead! Is MikeCAD / PCB out yet? :)

Nice as always. What cad is that? (not the davecad :) You could get some of the modern Canon or Sony hypersensitive sensors they use in SLRs and do a large baseline stereo system that watches the sky to capture UFOs and sell it to enthusiast across the world so we can bust open the secrecy so we can get superluminal interstellar personal vehicles instead of living in this lie of a society where the truth about the visitors are kept from us. Just throwing that outthere as a random idea :)

No - XO2. Ice40 has no oscillator and config mem is OTP. Can't remember if it has core regulator or not

That's a really nifty setup. A lot of those cameras look like the kind of cameras Nokia used/s in older/cheaper mobile phones.

How much does the new low end Altium package cost? :->

what are the chances that the camera would be produce a decent image in the dark save for a few inferred leds?

Unlikely that far - I will be investigating remotely locating the LCD at some point

I SO wish I knew more about FPGAs. Nice video, Mike. You're always into something deeply fun or fascinating.

wasn't that excluded the updates you have to pay them seperatly i was kinda shocked when they mailed me the prices

"...i'm not really sure what i'd use it for..." NIGHT VISION GOGGLES!

Needs a bigger mcu a bluetooth ditch the camera and we have a smartwach pls. We need a good smartwach u can do it Mike. No1 esle can. Just see samsung gear fail . 4 buttons at least so u can control thing easy with your watch.

as of last december last year it was $5450.00 USD

Man, I've always wanted to be able to interface with those tiny cell phone cameras. Would be useful to make one of those PCB quad copters that fits in the palm of your hand, except instead of the fpv camera being heavier then the thing, it could be one of those tiny cell phone cameras that you have and then have on board processing. Not sure how you'd go about making the video transmitter, though. Unless its better to just use one and hook it up.

Maybe at some point. Too rough at the moment

nice work. do you have pin out for SUNNY P5V35A and P13N05A ?

You do come up with some very interesting "things". Many thanks. PS Picasso would have had your worktop up on his wall with a hefty price tag on it. Great stuff...

"Altium entry level schematic" :P

maybe a camera for a bicycle rear cam for safety bike are big business today

Will put on my website when I get time - email me & I'll send the reg set and a datasheet I've added some notes to. Best bet is look for a Linux driver for the chip you have as that should contain a register set

Mike will you post more information on your website? Great info !!!!

sorry for the repeat, it was coming up with error

one clever dude.

add an sd card and use it for a mini video camera

Great video, thanks! Mike, I recently got a small pocket quadcopter and this nano cam might a good project for it. Do you think it is possile to wirelessly transmit the video a short distance? if so how would you go aout it? (apologies for the roken letter on my keyoard! guess which one!)

To save those looking for specs some time: - The camera module is an Omnivision OV9655. - The FPGA is a Lattice MachXO2 part, such as the LCMXO2-256HC-4SG32C.

at this rate it looks like I'm never going to have the skill to use an fpga in an actual project

Is DaveCAD open source yet?

id make camera goggles or helmet

Any plans to actually sell the boards?

Please do review on your Rigol Waveform Generator.

Your own google glass......?

What cad package is that? Frontline PCB?

Are you using that Lattice ICE series fpga?

LOL : DAVECAD crossed and then "ALTIUM ENTRY LEVEL SCHEMATIC", hahaha

Waw! Good job! (Are you using ultiboard for designing the pcb?)

Very nice job Mike. Roughly how much power does the FPGA consume in this application, out of interest?

But it has some licensing issue

Quick movements make video difficult to watch.

Cool!

Can you give us tips about how to start reverse engineering? I want to start to reverse a s5 neo screen, but I had no clue about where to start. P. S i had skils on electronics

He got complaints from Dave because he was using a pirated version of DaveCAD. :O

Kudos Mike. Might the camera and LCD be 1m apart?

Can you get APS-C or 35mm 2K sensors from China? At what sort of price? I've heard that their security camera hardware provides sensor quality and features comparable to prosumer digital cameras.

Hi, can you share the register values you used ? and maybe the link to the demo you mention ? I'm trying to get a similar sensor (ov9650) to work with no luck so far.. thanks !

I have like 40 cell phone cameras i kept when scrapping cell phones

Hey, I am playing around with my lattice break out board, I was wondering if there was any way to see some of the code you have done for yours? many thanks.

Can I not buy this or download the project files.. I really want to be able to use cheap Ipod screens in my projects..

Nope - only 100x

I bet even the Altium Entry level software comes with 30 day trial.. You got a spare serial number Mike? Heheee. Great vid

would be kinda cool in a kit you could purchase ;)

Mike i found this ipod that looks like a watch and i read in the information that says "mikes ipod" 🤔

Help me please. I doing pic16f887 interface to tft 1.8 st7735s. And I want library for it. Now i using mikroc for programing

VHDL

What would be cool to do with this is to build an intelligent low-cost open-source automotive accident cam. Throw in some G-sensors, a high speed SD card reader, get it to record reliably in a loop to an MP4 file with 'telemetry' on screen. Bob is your fathers brother. There are tons of far-eastern accident cams but they're mostly all shit. If you were to market a good alternative, perhaps as a kit, I for one would pick one up.

If you could get a fisheye-lens on it, could it work as a door camera?

Interesting,

Ah,new cad package!

Yeah Mike you can get that figure even for 10 off with a bit of Ebay searching ...damn cheap camera. I'll bemost thankful when you document this ..Cheers

P-CAD 2006

Hi Dave :D

How about you release the circuit schematic and detailled explanations on how to use the ipod nano 6g LCD screen ? You seems to keep it for yourself. Thanks in advance.

Late to the party, I know ... but that's a really cool thing :D I think I prefer the Altium Entry Level Schematic to DaveCAD for the moment :P

!= davecad lols!
