ok so iv been looking around online for a few months, trying to find the pinout for the ipod camera, my idea is quite simple, buy a camera replacement from ebay.. e.g:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Camera-Re...ltDomain_0&hash=item2eb70d729b#ht_2669wt_1344
and use it in projects.
i want to do the same with the blackberry optical trackpad, the perfect user interface, small and simple, non-contact so in theory, lifetime unlimited.
wonder if anyone knows or seen anything anywhere which has or could help with either of these?
Cheers
