Using CCD sensor for digital camera

[aljoxxx]

Hello to everybody. I would like to build digital camera for my project
in school.
Can anybody help me and tell me how to start?
I will use some CCD IMAGE SENSOR or maybe CMOS SENSOR with 2megapixles.
I also need some Image processor and power management.
I yust need some very cheap digital camera and help from you.
Main voltage would be 9-12V - purpose is to use some battery. I would
like that picture could be sent to USB stick or by IR maybe bluetooth
to comp.

Im trying to build micro digital camera.

Please help me. Very Happy

You might want to do searches of the newsgroups and websites that are
devoted to amateur telescope making. They've done a lot of work, in
that area.

Good luck.

Seriously though, thee is a lot more work in some parts of this than you
may think. The casual mention of possibly trying to write to a USB stick,
is a classic example. To do this, you have to implement a USB 'master'
interface, and would be talking about several _weeks_ work for a
development lab, to just do this alone.
Pull down the application notes from Sony, on some of their CCD sensors.
These have some of the best notes, with complete circuits (which is why
they are used in things like the 'cookbook' CCD camera). Concentrate on
the camera alone, with a frame buffer, and then consider writing this data
to something like an SD/MMC memory module, which is a _lot_ easier to do.

Best Wishes
