# Linear camera

The Linear camera driver is suitable for 128x1 cameras. It sends the clock and shutter signals to the camera and stores the analog values in an array.

#### Initialization

```c
void LinearCameraInit(Pwm_ChannelType ClkPwmChannel, Gpt_ChannelType ShutterGptChannel, Adc_GroupType InputAdcGroup, Dio_ChannelType ShutterDioChannel);
```

Parameters:

·       ClkPwmChannel: The Pwm channel configured for the camera in the Peripherals tool.

·       ShutterPwmChannel: The Pwm channel configured for the camera in the Peripherals tool.

·       InputAdcGroup: The Adc Group configured for the camera in the Peripherals tool.

#### Getting a frame

```c
void LinearCameraGetFrame(LinearCameraFrame *Frame);
```

Parameter:

·       Frame: The address of the variable where to store the analog values. The buffer must be declared by the user.

#### Relevant structures

```c
typedef struct{
    Pwm_ChannelType ClkPwmChannel;
    Gpt_ChannelType ShutterGptChannel;
    Adc_GroupType InputAdcGroup;
    Dio_ChannelType ShutterDioChannel;
    uint16 CurrentIndex;
    LinearCameraFrame *BufferReference;
}LinearCamera;
```

```c
typedef struct{
	uint8 Values[128];
}LinearCameraFrame;
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://nxp.gitbook.io/nxp-cup/2024-fall-2025-nxp-cup-bare-metal-drivers/drivers-description-and-usage/linear-camera.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
