The CMUcam uses a serial port and can be directly interfaced to other low-power processors such as PIC chips. Using a CMUcam, it is easy to make a robot head that swivels around to track an object. You can even build a robot that will chase a ball around.
Here is the User Manual .
The kit comes with everything you need to get started with the camera. The software for your PC or Linux machine is available for download on the CMU site and we pre-program the Scenix chip with the most current version of the firmware.

At 17 frames per second, the CMUcam can do the following:
- track the position and size of a colorful or bright object
- measure the RGB or YUV statistics of an image region
- automatically acquire and track the first object it sees
- physically track using a directly connected servo
- dump complete image over the serial port
- dump a bitmap showing the shape of the tracked object
The camera dimensions are 2.25" wide x 1.75" high x 2" deep. The camera kit uses a Omnivision The camera dimensions are 2.25" wide x 1.75" high x 2" deep. The camera kit uses a Omnivision OV6620 single-chip CMOS CIF color digital camera with a 4.0mm , F2.8 lens and IR filter.

KIT-VOICE-RECORD 20 seconds Voice Recording Module ...US$19.00
The small size is because the IC is in Chip-on-board form. One button is pushed down to record the message. The electric microphone is on the board. The LED turns on during this time. The other button just has to be momentarily pressed to replay the message. A second momentary press during playback will stop the playback. All you have to add is the speaker and 5V power.
The record play time is determined by the 52K resistor. If you change it to 89K you will get 30 seconds but at a reduced sampling rate. Operating current 25mA. Standby current 10 uA.

SENSOR-GYRO -- Micro Piezo Gyro -- US$69.95
This piezo gyro is tiny but very sensitive. The low power requirement and small size are results of the demands placed on gyros in electric RC helicopters and small RC airplanes. This detector can be used any time your robot needs to sense rotation about a single axis. Multiple gyros can be used to determine rotation in more than one axis.
Here is how the gyro works. First, a PWM servo signal is continually sent to the gyro. This same signal is output for use by a servo or microcontroller but the value is adjusted when the gyro is rotated about its axis of measurement. Often this adjusted output is fed into a servo that helps to remedy the rotation being sensed by the gyro.
An example of this is in an RC helicopter where the small rotor in the tail serves as a counter-torque force for the main lifting rotor. When the main rotor changes speed or pitch, different torque is applied to the body of the helicopter and in order for it to continue to point in the same direction, this change in torque needs to be accommodated. This is where the gyro fits in. The gyro compensates for the change in main rotor torque and therefore the body of the helicopter retains its orientation.
The input and output are both 0.1" headers so they are easy to match with connectors for hookup. A wiring harness is included that is compatible with JR, Hitec, and Airtronics Z connectors and will fit Futaba J connectors with minor modifications.
