Recently, I was trying to interface uCam-232 with Arduino Mega 2560. Later, if succesful then I have a plan to fit it on a tele-operated robot via wifi. So that I can see the camera images via wifi on my laptop.

Does anyone have any experience? Is it really possible to do it?

Please share your experience and advice. It would be really helpful for me.

Thanks in advance.

You can certainly do it.

 

The issue is, are you expecting a video feed, or a series of snapshots. At best you will get a series of snapshots.

 

Do some math on the data rates and snapshot sizes. IF you want to do jpeg, use the RAW sizes in your calculations, you will lose most of the data savings in the time it takes to compress the image into jpeg.

If you can, use the demo program to see how (and that) it works.

 

Then use the datasheet, as well as the observations from the demo program to write your own program.

How have you wired this - do you have a driver (max232 type ic) as the mega will be TTL levels and you are connecting to a 232 camera
