You are correct in your assesment of the documentation.  Some corrections
that I have found are:
	1.  To get the chip to send images you must have the SYNCI pin low
	2.  To change the exposure you must have the SYNCI pin high before
	    you send over the pulses.
	3.  Make sure the clock is working.  You will need a 1Meg resistor
	    and a 47pF capacitor from ground to the CLKO pin.
	4.  The values for VCL, VRT, VB1, BCK, and USR are wrong in the
	    documentation.  I found some values that sort of work.
		PIN	Voltage
		VCL	1.59
		VRT	4.00
		VB1	2.50
		BCK	2.98
		USR	2.51

With these changes the cameras still don't work very well, however, you
should be able to see something.  Mostly what I get is black or white
values that somewhat resemble the objects viewed.  If you find out how
to get half way descent images please post what you did to get them.
