Hi Bill - I am not an expert on the subject but I have learned some things about using the Raspberry Pi camera module for use with a Propeller.
In the beginning on the Parallax forums I told you that the Pi camera had noise when using for video. I was getting a video picture but I found out from the version of OpenCV that is downloaded
easily using sudo apt-get is an earlier version which only puts out a 64 x 64 pixel array with the Pi cam. So it looked poor when stretched up to 110 x 80. Now I am using OpenCV 2.4.9 and it puts out whatever pixel size you setup.
I am currently using the uv4l-raspicam http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/sections/index.php?op=viewarticle&artid=14 driver which can setup settings automatically with a configuration file at bootup.
The nice thing about the driver is it assigns ttyvideo0 to the Pi cam if a USB webcam is not plugged in at powerup. Otherwise it assigns ttyvideo0 to the webcam if plugged in. Maybe you already know about it or have a better one?
