I video capture possible ?

Andre Moutinho

Hi,

I have to capture 320x240 video frames using a microcontroller. Does anyone have any idea of how to accomplish this task ? Do I have any available serial camera ? (CMUcam models have lower resolutions power)
What is the difficult level of integrating a USB Webcam using a microcontroller ?

Thanks for any advice,

Andre

    I think you need to look to ARM rather than 8051 for this.

    Although there are several 8051-derivatives with USB Slaves on board, and plenty of chips to easily add USB Slave connectivity to a microcontroller, making a USB Host is an entirely different matter - especially a USB Host and Video Capture!! :-0

    I think you would be far better off looking at a small PC-based module; eg

    or maybe one of the tiny micro-ATX motherboards?
