Hi all, I have a project that is capturing image using a camera and string the images in micro SD card using a microcontroller.
Camera link is below. http://www.tigal.com/1787
Interface: RS232 Min size of SD card support required is 1GB.
Since the camera sends the image data in Snapshot Picture Preview (RAW) Picture JPEG Picture these formats, I would like my controller to receive them as it is and store them in SD card either using file system or without file system (No complex processing). Controlling the camera will be done by my controller.
My questions are: 1. Does a windows computer can read an image file without file system (Raw image)? 2. Which controller will be cheep and best for this project (Cheep evaluation board is better; I can’t invest more than 200USD). 3. To interface SD card, LPC is having dedicated pins for them. So selecting LPCxxxx series would be better option.
So why don't you just connect the camera to the PC, then?
What is the point of complicating the issue with a microcontroller and SD Card??
What, exactly, is your goal here?

Connecting to a PC COM port would probably be a good exercise anyhow - for you to gain familiarity with the camera, its operation, and its capabilities...
