  • Is it possible for me to connect a any other camera to OAK?

Hi,
I want to test another new camera on OAK-FFC-3P. I want to know is it possible for me.
I notice Luxonis open source the schematic of OAK-FFC-3P.

Since the interface on my camera are also MIPI(2 lane, camera data output) and IIC(camera control), I think it can work. If it is possible, what should I do on OAK C++ library to control IIC to initialize my camera and get camera image data from MIPI.
Thx.

    Hello Dong ,
    Camera handling / ISP is handled by firmware, which is closed source. Meaning that if the camera sensor isn't supported by depthai, you can't use it. Which camera sensor are you looking at?
    Thanks, Erik

        Hi, Erik,
        The camera sensor is S5K33DXX (iTof, Samsung). I have a camera model using this sensor, so I want to test it on OAK.

          @Dong We would need to add support for it in firmware, and I doubt we will do that anytime soon, as it's tons of work to support a ToF sensor. If you want to try out ToF, you could check our FFC-pToF solution.
          Thanks, Erik
