This tutorial explains how to use the camera board VCSBC4018.

This camera board mounts a TMS320C64xx TI processor working at 40MHZ. The camera sensor can take images with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The board is equiped with a 100 Mbit Ethernet that allows to comunicate with a PC, 32 MB RAM and 4 MB flash EPROM. Power supply: 12~14V.

Part 1: HW connection

First of all you need to connect the LAN jumper (J4) and power jumper (J3). Jump.jpg

The photo above represents a generic board, in fact the VCSBC4018 doesn't have the J6 jumper.

On the other hand, the photo below shows the real board with the two jumpers connected.

The power (12~24V) must be connected to the red cable of J3 and the GND to the balck cable of the same connector. At the end, the RJ-45 connector must be plugged into PC LAN port.
