@erik The AR0234 also is just fsync input only.
I am really curious about the precise answer to this question because so far I feel like it's been more of a trial let's see does it work like this kind of thing.
if you are using camera sensors, and all of them are unable to drive an F sync output is it possible to hardware sync all the cameras without an external trigger? I assume this would be done by the Oak board itself using its own trigger to sync, the left and right cameras, unless the left and light cameras are dependent on having a cam that can drive in F sync output.
That brings me to this question does the left and right camera hardware syncing depend on having camera's attached or at least one of them that can drive an fsync output?
So again, if none of the cameras, attached to the oak, 4P module can drive an F sync output that means you hundred percent need an external trigger to do the hardware syncing?
but not only that if you are using the Arducam camera modules, they don't have the Fsync lines built in that goals from Camera to board. The F sync lines are left out and you have to manually hook it up by utilizing the fsync test point. it looks like at least with the AR 0234 that you can at least solder header pins and connect the fsync output of all four cameras to each other via the header pins.
Does the time of flight camera expose its fsync header pin? and will that also need to be wired to the other four global shutter cameras that have their fsync header pins wired together?
wiring the Fsync header pins together is not an issue for me that can be done fairly easily but on the IMX 477 it was a big issue because it doesn't even support header pins.
anyways, I think I am on track to the correct hardware selection. I just need to make sure of the hardware syncing as it is critically important for us.
