Extending the connector of the VD56G3

Hello,

I am using the VD56G3 connected to a STEVAL-CAM-M0l1.  There is a very small ribbon cable between the sensor and the connector on the CAM-M0l1 - roughly 5mm.  I am working on a mock-up of some smart glasses where I'd like to extend that cable to a considerably longer length - ideally 1 meter.  Is there a way to create an extension to this cable or a product that has a lengthened connection?

I know that there is also a ribbon cable from the STEVAL-CAM-M0l1 which could easily be lengthened, unfortunately, the form factor of the STEVAL-CAM-M0l1 is not suitable for my mock-up.

Any suggestions/recommendations as to how to lengthen this connection along with any pitfalls would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,
Dan Luka

Hello Dluka,

 

you can do an extra ribbon to connect camera module you can find the pinout of the connector here: https://www.st.com/resource/en/schematic_pack/steval-cam-m0i-schematic.pdf

be careful 1 meter is long flex I'm not sure you will be able to send data through a ribbon of 1 meter (interference, attenuation ...).  

 

You can find the camera module connector  :
