off for now ... bbl

good news: the 2.8" LCD from https://www.buydisplay.com/ arrived and is 100% compatible with adafruit one we were using

nice

the blue streak gave me a brief shock but its on the cover not the LCD itself :)

Hello. If I am looking into digital camera design, I think that there's a lot of available designs. Some of them are open. Does it worth to tinker my own design or available ones are "universal" and "flexible"?

The price of good CCD sensor is just starting from 5 hundreds

hi sanaris

not sure what you mean with "available ones" <- what are your requirements or what do you want to build exactly?

The current plan is 16-bit large pixel sensor, similar to KAF-1608

* KAF-16803, which is 9um*9um, 100k electron well with 3 electrons of dark current and 60% effectiveness

It is the best fit into measurement applications I can find to my budget

well KAF* will need a mechanical shutter I believe

so this is for a photography project?

Also I checked what Elphel do. They use FPGA's in their schemes.

First main question is clocking the matrix. Sony used their IC for their own matrices

more like accurate measurement then photography, I want optics to accurately measure the incoming light, then cut light spectre with special filter and achieve filtered image

First may be I will test this with some old CCD found on ebay or smth to understand how is possible to remove unneccessary IR filter and may be this will boost the CCD matrix in wider spectre. But I'm only stuck with old for now before I'm going for costly and modern CCDs

for practical uses I would not go with KAF unless some really specific aspect of it makes it the only choice

But this goes not like "photography", more like pure imaging.

there are independent designs to drive these, mainly for astrophoto purposes

That Sony CCD looks interesting. Why you think that KAF is problematic?

From datasheet I see that Sony has good quantum efficiency, but lacks well size.

forgot the Philips/Dalsa/Teledyne path, they make nice medium format ones

from Russian far province

there seems to be more designs, maybe hes from your region as well

there is a cam86 design as well, with a mcu

this seems more self-contained, althought I do not know the writing.. judging by the parts on the board

Thanks. Looks like today is gone. Nigthy
