We did make a school project back in 91 or 92 I guess... it involved to take
a
use and dump camera, open it a fit a CCD to it... it did work pretty well...
Now I know that a 36x24mm sensor isn't going to make it cheap, but if the
CCD
spec is there and the price is acceptable then why not... I do have a bunch
of
PCB manufacturer, and we do have a couple of microcontroller dev kit lying
around.
all of this is pretty much easy to handle...
I tought of using the FP socket, that way we can actually get all the light
...
Good in electronic , so so in Optic
