i guess i can just use my linux machine, but ugh

next question is how do i actually physically interface with these pins. can’t use clips because well, it’s a flat surface, and the spacing is kinda weird so any prebuilt pogo pin things are ruled out

Ok, have a pinout of sorts
Ground Data Data Data Data Clock Half-press 1 Half-press 2 Shutter fired 1 Shutter fired 2 Bat+ Logic voltage

now we check if there are any common data interfaces with 4 data lines of some description and a clock

Is this just fucking SPI with a bonus pin

it would really help if I could non-destructively open up one of the program cards but they are sealed shut completely

i think it looks like a clock at least

in case you are wondering how i got this. i am just holding a pogo pin on the connector by hand

wtf is this though

its clock. but not.

jokes aside. there's two data lines (in/out i guess), one clock, one fucked up clock, and whatever this is

New working pinout:
Ground Fucked up clock Data Data Mystery pin Clock Half-press 1 Half-press 2 Shutter fired 1 Shutter fired 2 Bat+ Logic voltage

If I could make a guess, the mystery pin is probably a chip select

I think I need to come up with a proper test jig, I can't get a consistent reading just holding it on the pins by hand

lmao i killed the camera. rip

@protosphere how even

@whitequark i have no idea, it just doesn't turn on anymore. i guess the battery could be dead, i'll have to test

@whitequark hm no, it's actually getting power (5.8v instead of 5.9v, but I imagine that's still enough. Logic power level is like 2.8v though instead of ~3.2v)

@whitequark pretty sure I somehow killed the processor

@protosphere sounds somewhat unlikely unless you shorted one of the logic pins to VBAT. do you know what's inside? do you have an oscilloscope? how expensive was the camera?
