Arducam + Arduino to Actuate solenoid mechanical mirior or LEDs?

Other Hardware Sensors
1

Hello, im new to the Arduino forum, and Arduino as a whole. A project i am currently wanting to take on is a mechanical mirror. what i would like to make, and am wondering if at all possible, is a camera that picks up an image and sends that information to an Arduino or a RasberryPI which would take that image and break it down into pixels at a set resolution (the higher the better) and then to the Arduino which then would actuate push/pull solenoids, on a panel that would mirror what the camera see's, or an LED panel.

any ideas? thoughts? suggestions?

again i'm new to this and would appreciate any info regarding this.

thanks so much

best

Gluereid.

If you have not budgeted thousands of dollars for this project I would recommend going with LEDs. One of the 0.3 MP Arducam modules (640x480) will have plenty of resolution. You just need LED strips in an array and shove out to the array whatever comes in from the camera.

Be sure to buy an ArduCam in the mini shield version. The camera module alone uses I2C and does not respond in the normal fashion. The ArduCam library is designed for the shield version. One using the OV7670 will be sufficient.
