how to connect a cmu cam3 to a microcontroller

Enter your message here... how would one connect the CMUcam3 to a microcontroller like the arm7 2119 or 2106? is it just as easy to connect to a microcontroller as the umccam1 was?

i want to add it to my robot for obstacle avoidance and navigation.

    Connecting the CMUcam3 to a robot is identical to the way you would connect the CMUcam1. You can use a serial port from your processor and connect it to the CMUcam. The big difference is that you can now write your own algorithms on the CMUcam side of the system. To get started you can load on the CMUcam2 emulation firmware and you basically have a CMUcam1/2. Later if you want to try some more advanced image processing (or more application specific processing) you can write your own CMUcam algorithms.

      Hello anthony, i am using a PIC18F4520 directly interface with the cmucam3 using serial port communication. I want to use PIC18F4520 to send a byte or something to cmucam3,what library or function should i use?Thank you.
