I have the scanning sensor from a flatbed and was trying to figure out how
to interface it to a PIC to play around.  It's not one of the older CCD
ones with a couple of dozen pins on a circuit board with some controller
logic.  The CCD(?) element is placed right on a long circuit board and
only has 7 pins hooked to it.  Five more control a tri-color led on one
end.

Any idea how this works?  I'm almost more curious on how it's hooked up
than trying to do anything with it.  Does it work like a normal CCD with a
pixel clock?  Im not sure how that would work without any visible
circuitry.

Sorta related question.  Is there a more appropriate mailing list or forum
for this sort of thing?  Not a complaint.  I love the PIClist and though I
mostly lurk, the times I needed help have always been good experiences.

Thanks!
