I am relatively new to Arduino and my sincere thanks to all in this forum who helped my previous projects to be successful.
My next project has a requirement for a camera module with flash light (not flash memory, see [1] below).
a) For camera, I am looking into arducam 3 MP module, such as, this and a cheap version like this.
b) I also need a flash light to work at the same time as the camera shutter opens. I have seen few examples on how to interface big bulky photographic flashes with Arduino but they won't work for me. My requirement is to use an LED based flash (similar to the one used in iPhone or cell phones). I also need a standard working sketch to make it work (not just the hardware).
c) The project is very cost and time sensitive so if it can be connected to the main I/O pins without needing any shield etc, that will be the best.
Do you have any suggestion for such a flash? Greatly appreciate your response. Please do ask question if any further clarification on the requirements is needed.
[1] Searching for 'arduino camera flash' resulted in a lot of results on flash memory interface of Arduino. Oh well...
