i am using an ARM7 LPC2129 microcontroller for a driver fatigue detection system based on grip sensors.Once the sensors are triggered, the location of the vehicle(from GPS) is sent to a control room through a GSM modem. i need to add a webcam to the system that can take a short clip and then transmit it through the GSM modem. Can anyone help me on how to integrate a webcam with the ARM7 LPC 2129 and program it to take a short clip for 30 seconds and then send it through the GSM modem as MMS. I am using a Wavecom Q2406 GSM modem
Note that Wavecom is now Sierra Wireless.
Do you really need the ARM7 - have you considered using Open-AT?
Note that Sierra Wireless have an application note about MMS...
If you're not using Open-AT, then the Q2406 is effectively just a standard, dumb, GSM modem - Google will find you loads of info for controlling standard, dumb, GSM modems...
Google will also find you loads of info for controlling cameras - there's even a thread right here: http://www.keil.com/forum/18202
Specifically for finding open-source code, try: http://codesearch.google.com
Other search engines are available.
i am working with a project center , so they offer only a ARM 7 LPC2129 microcontroller. can u help me???
What do you mean by that?
"they offer only a ARM 7 LPC2129 microcontroller"
Doesn't sound like much of a "project centre", then!
Sounds more like: we have older chips since a couple of years ago that we want people to continue to use for a couple of years more.
Maybe you misunderstood me saying:
"Do you really need the ARM7 - have you considered using Open-AT?"
Open-AT is not an alternative microcontroller!
Open-AT is the facility to embed a 'C' application within the Q24 GSM Module itself - thus, potentially, obviating the need for any external microcontroller at all.
See: www.sierrawireless.com/.../Sierra_Wireless_Software_Suite.aspx
Example (shameless self-promotion): www.antronics.co.uk/.../m2m_modem
Also "older" GSM modules from several years ago!
all they offer me is d ARM7 LPC2129.....i need to program it to take a short clip using a webcam for about 30 seconds and then send it as an MMS thru a Wavecom Q2406 modem......can anyone help me with the coding for this????
"all they offer me is d ARM7 LPC2129"
What are "they"?
But you're still missing the point!
If the Q2406 can do it internally, then you don't need any external microcontroller at all - do you??!
Wavecom used to have a demo that did something very much like this - called their "wheel of opportunity"
"can anyone help me with the coding"
What "help", exactly, do you need?
How far have you got?
Where are you stuck?
If you just want someone to do it for you, you could try like this: ">http://www.keil.com/condb

as i told u in my earlier posts , i am working with a project center where the expertise they have is with a simple GSM modem that sends an sms of the vehicle's position that is obtained frm d gps unit. do u mean to say that it is possible to use the Q2406 modem to itself take an mms clip and then transmit it as MMS?? if this can be done can u tell me how exactly to proceed? i'm downloading OPEN AT but can u help me the specific codes that i need to use to program the Q2406 to do the above mentioned functions???
Again, what does that actually mean?
What is a "project centre"?
What, exactly, do they do?
What is their contribution to this project?
What is your contribution to this project?

a project center is one place wer they offer u a set of titles which u can choose frm. I've taken up a project tat uses a grip sensor that is uded to detect driver fatigue. they execute the project for me in return for a particular amount as fees. I and my team are taught how d various modules are executed n so on...otherwise in this part it is safe to execute a project at any of these centers as u hav less work. they offer to use a ARM7 processor and a GSM modem to send the positional info, but i wanna improve that by adding tis mms functionality. as they dont hav d expertise 4 tis i'm jus tryin to get some help in tis mms part.
"help" means that the majority of the work is your own - so, what have you done so far?
What is it, specifically, that you need "help" with?
