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.

Parts List

  • 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

Instructions

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:
