Hello, I am new to netduino and I am trying to take on a ambisionbs project. I want to use some type of serial camera and stream video to a oled screen or lcd screen whatever comes first. Can anyone start pointing me in the right direction the first thing would be to hook the netduino up to my computer and send the camera files to my computer then the lcs can come later.

You can get a LCD shield which allows for some stuff to be done (Not got one, don't know much about it) but as for processing camera images, you'll not manage that. Not enough memory or speed out of the CPU. There was a long thread on SparkFun forum about it and the Arduino and it was not happening. Would be cool if you could though. Maybe in the future when we have Netduino - Quantum Edition

You might want to do the math to figure out just how much memory you will need for something like this. You will quickly find out that there probably isn't nearly enough on the current iteration of the Netduino.

Can we not use camera like this and probably send the signal direct to LCD with rca or PC ???

Hey Vincent, I had a similar thought. For my project I want to stream video from a mobile robot that's Netduino powered to a web client. I think the route I'll take is to pick up a WiFi webcam, wire it up to a battery and add it to the robot. Then I can use Expression Encoder or some other means to pick up that stream and expose it to other clients. I haven't gotten far along enough to test out the idea though.

Hi James, So what are you going to use at the other end to display video? TV/Monitor or some sort of modded LCD display? Vincent
