Camera board • Using an Arduino to trigger a PI global shutter camera how does it work?

Hi

I want the Arudino to control the stepper and send a trigger signal to take the picture on the Global shutter camera and then save the photo on the pi to a hard disk

I have the 1.58 megapixel official camera

I find the thread confusing

How does the Pi know it has a photo coming down the CSI lines and to save it?

Does the camera buffer the data first (I assume all global shutters have to buffer) and then you request it in python?

And what pins do I need to connect to the Arudino GPIO on the Pi Camera?

I think it's XTR I assume a gnd anything else?

Does the voltage have to be regulated?

I think I might need to drop it from the 5v the Arduino outputs

If I read it right XVS is for syncing camera's and XTR is to trigger them directly

BUT you do some hackery to make XVS trigger directly

But the camera has XTR so use that right?
