with connect i mean read the data from the ccd/cmos array into the arduino.
no need to worry about memory problems, the data is not stored on the arduino
I have seen it done... At the time it was done with an Ethernut that forwarded the readings through the Ethernet. Although the guys doing it, used the sensor with some interface chip to get the readings out of it. At the time I think it served mainly as a proof of concept and ended up not being used on anything.
