I have several camera modules as shown below, but I don't know how to connect them to my PC. I searched for similar modules and found the camera module CMT-2MP-IMX291-C014 Using Sensor 1/2.8'' SONY IMX291 Sensor has identical components. However, my output is an 8-pin port, and other modules only have a 4-pin output to USB 2.0 very easily.

enter image description here

About the connection pins

  • Pin 1 and 8 is GND
  • Pin 3 and 5 is VCC
  • The remaining 4 pins I don't know

I have connected the VCC and GND pair to the USB Port, and the two pins D+, D- of the USB I connect to any two of the remaining 4 pins but it doesn't work. enter image description here

If you know datasets or how to connect them or any ideas please let me know. Thank you for taking the time.

Here is the datasheet for that controller:

https://www.sonix.com.tw/article-en-995-7859

It notes that pin 4 and 5 (dot is pin 1) are the USB +/- data pins. In your picture these are routed next to each other, so presumably connected to something on that connector.

Get a multimeter and probe pin 4/5 and each of the outputs on the connector. Once you know which is USB you can solder on a connector.

Google also turns up open source code for talking to the controller. You may want to look into that.
