As the topic title stats. I want to add a camera for images on my robot, as well as a sonar sensor so he can not run into things. I may in the future also want other devices like these.
Can the SSC32 handle these?
Is there documentation for how to set these up?
Would I need another board inbetween the sensors and the ssc32.
Here’s what I’m looking at.

The SSC-32 has 4 analog inputs. It can accept up to 4 of the Sharp GP2D12 analog distance sensors.
It’s as simple as connecting the black wire to ground, the red wire to +5vdc and the yellow wire to the analog input pin.
Here is the manual for the SSC-32.

Okay that looks simple enough. Reading through that topic and your post it seems to suggest it can only accept the Sharp GP2D12 sensors. However I can connect other sensors as well correct? One user mentioned the light sensor.
For instance the camera in my link would just send back the information in bytes, and it’d be up to me to make that into an image either through my own code or open source? (I’m controlling my robot through C++).
The SSC-32 can accept any sensor that provides 0-5vdc as an output. This can be from any number of devices. It can also accept TTL level digital sensors that provide either a high or a low as an output. This could be a switch to ground connected to the inputs with a 10k pullup resistor. Basically anything you can poll.
What you can not connect is any sensor that requires serial communication, or any sort of timing dependent sensor like the SRF-04 or Ping. This type of sensors require a direct connection to a microcontroller.
There is no way to connect any sort of camera to these inputs.
okay thanks for your help
