I bought the 862 evaluation kit from Sparkfun and have been playing around with it. Really like it. Like it so much in fact that I am designing a system around it. However, I am starting to have concerns as to the future availability of the camera in the future. I know Agilent, who makes the camera, sold out, and now I hear that Telit is phasing it out, but plan on replacing it with another "yet to be announced" camera. I am about to sink about two grand into the development of this system and am just wondering if parts will be available in the future, or will there be another camera that will be cut in that has a different pinout from the Agilent. I see that round solutions has come out with a camera to be used for it, but i would rather "buy in the USA". Anyone have any input on the direction the 862 PCS camera is going? Are there other VGA cameras out there we could use with it if the Agilent goes away? :?:
