CMUCam2 - 2005 vs 2006 changes

[kmcclary]

Some Camera questions:

1) Is the 2006 CMUCam2 *exactly* the same as the 2005 model,
or does it have hardware and/or firmware changes?

If there ARE changes and/or differences:

2) What are the differences?

3) Is there a way to upgrade the 2005 camera TO 2006 camera
specs so we can use the 2005 camera on our practice bot?
If so, how? (Such as a source and procedure for downloading
new firmware, a summary of "where the blue wires have to go",
etc...)

Thanks!

It's the same. The code should work for any CMUcam2. In fact, early development of the code used a genuine CMUcam2 from acroname and one of these pan/tilt units.
