TSL1401 Linescan Imaging Sensor Daughterboard

The Parallax TSL1401 Linescan Imaging Daughterboard provides one-dimensional sight to almost any microcontroller. It is designed for plug-in compatibility with Parallax's BS2pe Motherboard but can be used with other BASIC Stamp modules, the Parallax Propeller, the SX, PICs, and AVRs, to name just a few. It is a platform suitable not only for evaluating TAOS's TSL1401R imaging chip, but also for incorporation into OEM products, as well as hobbyist, robotic, and educational platforms.

The TSL1401-DB includes the TAOS TSL1401R 128-pixel sensor chip, a 7.9mm focal length imaging lens, and control electronics to aid in capturing images for evaluation. It produces a clocked analog data output, whose voltage levels correspond to the light intensity at each pixel. By means of an analog-to-digital converter (or even a simple digital logic threshold), image data are easily transferred to a microcontroller to detect objects, edges, gaps, holes, liquid levels, textures, emissive sources, simple barcodes, and other visible features. Combining it with the BS2pe Motherboard and a suitable output device, one can construct a complete inspection system in a very compact form factor.

Central to the TSL1401-DB's ease of use is the 50-page manual (downloadable below). The AVR coprocessor firmware for the BS2pe Motherboard, for example, provides a completely scriptable imaging front end that captures images in the background and locates features, while the BASIC Stamp is busy with other tasks. Also included is a programming template and examples for both the Motherboard and the BASIC Stamp 2.

Features:
  • 128-pixel linear image sensor (TAOS TSL1401R)
  • Focusable imaging lens
  • Simple three-pin interface with analog pixel output
  • Connector: 12-pin Hirose DF11 (M) main connector, 6-pin Hirose DF11 (F) accessory connector
  • Lens: 7.9mm focal length, f2.4 fixed aperture, manual focus, 12mm x 0.5mm thread
  • Exposure Time: 267µS to 68mS (MoBoStamp-pe, Propeller, SX, PIC, AVR, etc.); 2.03ms to 68ms (BS2)
  • Resolution: 128 pixels (grayscale); 255 pixels (interpolated binary)
  • Direct plug-in for Parallax motherboards (e.g. MoBoStamp-pe) and adapters
  • Accessory socket for future add-ons, such as LED strobes

    Applications:
  • Detection of objects, edges, gaps, holes, liquid levels, etc.
  • Non-contact measurement of height, width, diameter, position
  • Line following for robots
  • Light and flame detection and location for robots
  • Simple barcode reading

    Key Specifications:
  • Power Requirements: 3.3V to 5.0V at less than 5mA
  • Dimensions (with lens): 1.35 x 1.35 x 1.22 in (34.3 x 34.3 x 31mm)
