Connecting monochromatic cameras through MIPI/CSI-2 #4

Recently I found some information about your project on the arducam-website.

I was curious how well monochromatic cameras could be integrated in the current MIPI/CSI-2 interface provided by the raspberry pi. I see a growing number of people demanding for such a feature due to low-photon imaging in astronomy and microscopy. As far as I understood, one could use your USB-to-camera interface to connect a sensor to the raspberry pi. But would it also be possible to use your driver in order to achieve this with a dedicated camera-pcb/connector?

You can see a discussion on Twitter.

I saw that the Arducam 10MP MT9J001 has a monochrome chip - but I need to use the USB-converter shield in order to use it with the raspi, correct?

Thanks for the great project! I love your camera-multiplexer! :)

Best Bene

Benjamin did you ever get an answer to this? I would also like to use the CSI port of the PI to save buying a USB convertor board
