Hello techies, I have given myself a challenge to do a small DIY project where my aim is to develop from the ground up a 3D depth camera. Please forgive me if there is a thread on this topic already.

I will be using a Time-of-Flight sensor for the depth camera which can be sourced from TI (OPT8241NBN). The mainboard will at this stage will be Pi 3 since it has more number crunching power then the beagleboard.

My very question is how do I interface the TOF sensor with the Pi 3. What is the circuitry required to accomplish this step.

Your advise and guidance will be tremendously helpful.

Thanks,
Tony

 

That looks cool but seems an advanced DIY project for your own design not a small DIY project.

I looked at the evaluation Camera Development Kit (CDK) module with the RPi3 here:

many thanks nsaspook. i would like to collaborate with you if you don't mind. i am also just going through the material you provided in the 1st link. also looked at the 2nd link but the user in using a full blown kit from TI... exactly what i would like to build.

out of interest where are you located.

 

Sorry, not my interest after a short look at what's needed.
