TSL1401-DB (#28317):
Linescan Camera Module
Product Overview
General Description
The TSL1401-DB is a daughterboard that provides a TAOS TSL1401R 128-pixel linear array sensor and a
lens. It is designed to plug into a motherboard (e.g. MoBoStamp-pe (p/n 28300), MoBoProp (p/n 28303,
in development), Propeller Backpack (p/n 28327)) or the DB-Expander (p/n 28325). This module will
allow its host system to “see” in one dimension. Two- dimensional vision can also be achieved by moving
either the subject or the sensor in a direction perpendicular to the sensor axis.
