8 years ago First of all, I am glad to see that you are getting some work done on this. Integrating the camera is going to take some work. I really don't care which camera you use, I even stated in our last meeting that I would be fine if you looked around to find one that you liked better. You have everything you should need for connecting the CSI camera in the parts kit I provided. The USB camera, on the other hand, will need the other cable which is not provided. I am not partial to either, but would like you to document your findings on each camera and make a choice based on that. Once you have made your choice and I am able to read through your documentation we can discuss it further.
The USB camera may be easier to integrate as it can connect via USB and can use a generic camera driver in Linux. You will need to look around to find which one you need, but the community for those two cameras is pretty extensive. It shouldn't be too difficult to find what you need for either.

Ben,
There are two cameras that you provide us: USB vs. Camera Serial Interface (CSI), . I researched both on how to interface them with the Edison. It seems like USB connection is supported more than CSI.
USB camera can do MJPEG 30 fps at 1280 x 720. CSI camera looks to be more dynamics with more built-in functions. To connect CSI camera, I would need a breakout board (ex. Ardruino). For USB camera I need the micro USB to female USB adapter and I could connect to OTG port.
Am I going in the right direction? Or would you prefer one more than the other?
Thanks, -Hau
