MikeSchem 0 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I would like to use a camera with my CC3200 and transmit the feed over WiFi using enregia. Has anyone done this before? I fount a Booster pack for the camera here, but it doesn't seem to be out yet. I am also found the MT9D111 which seems to be the camera to use with the booster pack. As far as code, I don't see anything in the energia references for image processing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greeeg 460 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 From what I can tell, the camera will output a binary stream which is your JPEG image, when you request it to take a photo. So you just need to the push that binary array over WiFi in response to a HTTP request? Or you could get up a webserver and the CC3200 could perform a POST containing the data.

MikeSchem 0 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 So are you saying retrieve the data serially? The documentation for the CC3200 mentions support for an 8-bit camera. Is there a way to leverage this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greeeg 460 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 anybody figured this out? It depends entirely on what camera module you pick. Alot of the cheap ones internally encode the image as a jpeg and then you serially extract it as a binary stream. These cameras are only really useful for stills, or a few fps. More expensive modules, or ones like the raspberry pi camera have a mush more advanced interface, due to the need for a high speed interface to transfer high quality images at reasonable framerates. Pick your camera, then read it's datasheet, it should explain it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
