Connectors M8, M12

M8 aux connector has 8pin female A-coded connector and the M12 ethernet has 8pin female X-coded connector. Cameras also include an M8 connector cap for waterproofing in case the M8 connector wouldn't be used.

1Eth MX0+AUX GPIO 3V33V3 auxiliary GPIO 52. Pull this pin high with 10k resistor at startup for USB boot.
2Eth MX0-FSYNC ISOIsolated Frame synchronization input signal for cameras
3Eth MX1+USB D+USB 2.0 interface that can be used to connect to the OAK device (eg. reflash) if USB boot is enabled (via AUX GPIO 3V3).
4Eth MX1-USB D-USB 2.0 interface that can be used to connect to the OAK device (eg. reflash) if USB boot is enabled (via AUX GPIO 3V3).
5Eth MX3+VBUSINThis pin is used for sourcing 5V power to accessory devices connected to the M8 connector. If trying to boot the device in USB boot mode, this pin can also sink current.
6Eth MX3-Strobe ISOIsolated Strobe output signal for cameras (Open Collector)
7Eth MX2+Isolated GNDIsolated ground for Strobe/FSYNC
8Eth MX2-GNDGround
External triggering: Sensors require 1V8 rising edge on FSYNC for the trigger event. We are using an optocoupler and ESD protection diode, so the input trigger voltage should be 12V (up to 24V) and the trigger logic is reversed, so trigger event happens at 0V on the FSYNC line. For an example, see External FSYNC Example.
