I think this is the kinda thing we need = http://www.digital-car.co.uk/forum/s...reverse+camera

Its not got Ir but with reverse lighting on it doesn't need it apparently.
Looks very nice,it is tiny and waterproof and uses a ccd instead of the usual cmos sensor.

If we can find some then maybe a group buy is in order.

I wonder if it posible to put an additional CAN reciver on the board, this would be great

I have the remote version from the parking sensors, but the unit is not working

Did someone know a way to messure the unit ?

For now work only 1 PDC kit. We are only prepare plugin for use with two PDC kits. But I think we must get PIC programed wit diferent serial or PID number... Will be Robby say how we will do this...

Enforcer · 08-17-2008, 06:30 PM

I suspect the issue may not be whether Robby can change the serial or PID of the PDC kit, but that the xmitters for both kits will have duplicate IDs. so the receivers will not be able to distinguish between the two kits.

(Of course I may be wrong and the kits all have a unique frequency amd/or ID)

Anyone with two kits able to try this ?

I think Wireless connection is not posible but If we connect it by wire then we don't have this problem and is problem only PIC(I think)...

P.S. I have at home two builded kits and I will try in next days

Failing that, you could have one wired and one wireless.

That might even be better as the control units will be at opposite ends of the car anyway.

Yes this is second option(more useable)...

Good point, two wired directly would get around that.

That still might not work.

Even when connected by wire the second one will still send it's wireless signal which may confuse with the other one.
