Hardware description
USB interface
USB or Universal Serial Bus, is a peripheral device connection technology that complements
or replaces older peripheral device interfaces such as serial, parallel and PS/2 ports. There are
two USB specifications, USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. The FCLAB Series Cameras are Hi-Speed USB
2.0 devices that require a USB 2.0 interface for operation. USB also supplies electrical power for
connected devices up to 500mA directly through the USB cabling.
In FC-1000 design, USB interface not only for image transfer. It also design for a control link
Between outside world and computer. During the camera working or idle the USB interface
Can work as a USB to RS232, USB to I2C and USB to GPIO.
LED indicator
Red LED for power Indicate, once plug USB cable. This LED will permanent on for FC-1000.
Green LED for data transfer indication. During image transfer this LED will blink along the
frame rate from 1F/S to 60F/S. For FC-1001 the Red LED will do same function as Green LED in
FC-1000.
Extend Port (for FC-1000 only)
There is a 8 Pin 2.54mm pitch jump connect use for extend purpose.
J2 Pin 1 Strobe signal : 3.3V. Active. During exposure this signal will change to high
to turn on a possible lighting device such as flash tube, LED bar.
This signal can be use for capture a high speed moving object that
ignore Rolling shutter weakness.
J2 Pin2 GPIO1 : Can be configure to input or output through FclBitOperation
API command in software application level.
