The V2 8 megapixel camera for Raspberry Pi uses the Sony IMX219 sensor which is a bit over 5mm wide by a bit under 5mm tall. They call it 1/4" diagonal. Should be able to hit that with a laser beam, if the pinhole lens can be removed. The first model Pi camera used the (since discontinued) Omnivision OV5647 sensor. Fewer pixels and image area was a bit over 4mm by a but under 4mm.

The laser beams are 10x the size of the imaging chips even if they're perfectly aligned. To get something usable I may have to buy a lensless digital camera for around a 100 dollar bill, which of course has a usb-2 output, and controlling it to get the image data is something I'll have to invent. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
