 Hi,  

   

I am currently n a project in which I have to interface CCD camera ATIK314L+ with an embedded board.

   

Camera ATIK314L+ is supporting Cypress FX2 USB drivers. I have successfully completed interfacing of camera with windows7 based PC using the ArtemisSDK VC application provided by ATIK. 

   

And , now I want to develope embedded board that can drive that camera. One of the option is to use PC board that leads high cost and space. 

   

 

   

Also, I am not aware about any microcontroller that support Cypress FX2 USB. 

   

 

   

I read about some of EZ-USB FX2™ USB Microcontrollers. So, I just want to know whether it is possible to drive that camera using these microcontroller independente from PC. Or any other hardware or support device I required.

   

 

   

So, provide me some suggestions. It would be really helpful to me.

        Sachin Your question is not clear. What do you mean when you say "drive camera using microcontroller independent of PC"? Please clarify

Hi, 

   

Thanks for response.

   

Right now, I am driving ATIK314L+camera which supports Cypress FX2 USB drivers through window7 based PC.

   

But, My application requirement is to drive Camera through a single Embedded board with specified operations.

   

I hope through EZ-USB FX2™ USB Microcontrollers, I may be able to interface with ATIK314L+ camera through Computer to EZ-USB FX2™ USB Microcontrollers to Camera.

   

So, I want to know whether it is possible to program EZ-USB FX2™ USB Microcontrollers such that If I remove Computer then EZ-USB FX2™ USB Microcontroller board will automatically drive that camera..?

   

Means Embedded board will let Camera to perform operations like On/ off, Binning, Store Image etc..
