Synchronization Cables
Here you can find information about the parts needed to assemble the synchronization cables for the Intel RealSense sensors, and instructions on how to assemble them.
- 3-core shielded cable - 30m (meters). Recommendation
- 4 x JST SH Connectors
- 12 x JST SH Crimp pins (You should get a lot more (like 100), because they are really small and break easily if you are not really careful when assembling the connectors - plus they are really cheap -)
- 4 x 20K Resistors and 22nF Capacitors (Again, you should get a lot more; it is easy to make mistakes)
- 1 x PA-09 Crimping Tool
Firstly the pins that need to be connected are pins 1, 5, and 9.
Pin #1 is the ground pin.
Pin #5 is the synchronization signal pin
Pin #9 is the General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pin
- The schematic for the RC-filters is described in Intel's white paper.
In order to avoid ESD events (electro-static discharge events) a simple passive low-pass RC filter is needed.
A simple breadboard illustration is presented bellow:
Cable length between each sensor should be about 5m long.
