  • Forum Post: Controlling the version 2 Pico Projector with a direct connection via a PC

    Phillip Poon
    Hi I'm thinking about the possibility of controlling the picoprojector with MATLAB via direct connection to my PC. I understand the new version 2 pico projector development kit would allow a direct connection to a PC, without the need of a Beagle Board. My questions are: 1. Is it possible...

    Torsten Wagner
    Dear All, I own a pico V1 dev-kit and I bought it for non-projector purpose. Actually, I'm in the middle of a light-processing design. I choose the picokit for a first proof of principal before putting some k$ to a discovery system. However, the pico is rather limited in its capabilities. Now V2...

    I have a Pico V2 and a BeagleBoard rev C4 that I would like to use for structured lighting. I have followed your instructions for connecting the Pico to the BeagleBoard but have not had success. Do you know if this SD configuration works with the C4 BeagleBoard? I was going to order a preconfigured SD...

    sfumato
    I recently purchased a pico v2 kit to experiment with a few structured light and compressive sensing applications. Can any suggest a high speed video camera for use in capturing images at or near to the 1000-2000hz. pattern rate of the projector? A high frame rate is more important to me than high...

    Pascal DLP
    Hello Amit, Are you powering the BeagleBoard from the external 5V power supply? If so, try instead powering it via the OTG USB port. This is the small USB port. Disconnect the 5V power supply. I found that for the C4 revision BB the I2C only works when the board is powered from the OTG USB - not...

    Amit, I have not tried the latest Angstrom Demo, so I can't say why it is giving a kernel panic when powered from the OTG USB port. TI did not develop the Angstrom Demo, and can not support it. I suggest that you post the kernel error issue to the Angstrom support forum and see if anyone there...

    amit agrawal Hi Pascal, I am using the 5v power supply. However, I found that when I try to power it using OTG, the angstrom demo image does not load. In between, it gives an error (here is the copy of tera term pro) 21.125762] [<c004c2e4>] (omap3_pm_idle+0x4c/0x50) from [<c0625fd0>...

    Pete, First - Hello. Welcome to DLP and MEMS E2E. Sorry you have been having difficulty getting started with the Pico Kit V2. Maybe some answers to your questions will get you going. 1. I2C pull up resistors - I recommend 2.2k 2. I2C speed - 100k 3. Sorry - I'm not familiar with the GUI...

    Hi, I have DLP Pico Projector Development Kit which I want to use to create texture on solid surfaces in order to have more structure for 3D vision. I was wondering if there is a relative simple way to use custom splash screens. In my set-up it is not possible to connect to HDMI, so I'd like to...

    Steven, Welcome to the DLP&MEMS E2E forum. There is no provision for user-defined patterns except via the HDMI video input. However, there are internal patterns which are available for structured light applications. Please refer to the documens DLP® Pico Chipset v2 Programmer’s...

    Pascal DLP
    Steven, It can be done - but the patterns can not be loaded and stored inside the DLPC100, the digital controller for the DLP1700 DMD. The patterns must be supplied as digital RGB data at the 24 bit parallel input port of the DLPC100, along with the digital HSYNC and VSYNC signals. This data must...

    Steven, The Pico Kit V2 auxiliary connector does not support the PDATA lines. The DLPC100 input port does support both RGB888 and BT656 format inputs. However, on the Pico Kit V2, the DVI input interface is tied to this port. See the DLP Pico Projector Development Kit V2 User's Guide ( http...

    Hello Fangjing Hu, Welcome to the DLP and MEMS E2E. The Pico Kit V2 uses the DLP 0.17 HVGA Chipset. The DMD used is the DLP1700, which has an array of 480x320 mirrors with a pitch (center to center) of 7.6 microns. The Pico Kit V2 incorporates a very compact "light engine" which contains...

    Fangjing Hu, Yes. Go to http://ti.com/mems and click on the 0.17 HVGA chipset. The datasheet for the DLPC100 (the controller chip for the 0.17 HVGA chipset) has the information about the 24-Bit Input Port (RGB or BT656-YUV). Best regards, Pascal

    Pascal DLP
    Fangjing, The Pico Development Kit V2 only accepts 640x480@60Hz resolution via the HDMI (DVI-D) input. First, your computer must output either DVI or HDMI video (not VGA analog). Also, the resolution for the Pico must be set to 640x480@60Hz. From the Windows "Display Properties" click...

    Manuel, Sorry for the late reply. I was out for several days. The PWRONZ is the same signal as the push-button. It goes only to the MSP430 - which then creates a signal called PWRGOOD which goes to the DLPC100. The PWRONZ signal should only be pulled down - then released. It is pulled up to...

    Manuel, I'm glad that you got the problem under control by lengthening the pulsewidth. That is one of the suggestions which I would have made. As for generating patterns to drive the Pico, the BeagleBoard is certainly a solution. I wasn't aware of the lead time for the BB - it changes all...

    Andrew, I have sent you a friend request, if you would like to discuss this. To answer your question 3): The high-speed pattern functionality is not available, as far as I know, in any of the comercial DLP pico projectors. However, you should always ask the manufacturer directly any questions about...

    Hello Bryan. Welcome to the DLP & MEMS E2E forum. The Pico Kit V2 does not have any software commands for keystone. Also, the DMD and LED illumination system are well embedded in the light engine module, so I don't have any instructions for adjusting keystone there. It would not be practical...
