I have the following thing in mind and wonder if you can realize something like this with an Arduino:
I want the arduino to make an screenshot of a connected PC and then save it onto SD Card.
I.e. you connect the Arduino via USB to any computer (e.g.: Windows, Linux), press a button connected to the Arduino and then a screenshot is created and stored on SD card.
Would something like that be possible?
In my current job, I often have to take screenshots on different computers. I would like to have an independent solution where I don't have to depend on whether the target computer has a screenshot program installed. By creating the screenshot directly on the Arduino (SD card) I would also save a separate USB stick to save the screenshot.
How will the Arduino signal to the PC to take the screenshot ?
If you are intending to use the Arduino Keyboard or Mouse libraries to enable the Arduino to emulate a keyboard or mouse then you might just as well use the actual items
How will the screenshot data get to the SD card which is attached to the Arduino. It would require suitable software running on the PC to send it
All in all you might just as well take a photograph of the PC screen
Hi,
i thought maybe it would be possible to capture the screen content via USB directly through the arduino as a screenshot. I.e. that the Arduino makes the screenshot and not the PC itself.
I thought that there might be some library that can do something like this.
But then the matter has already settled
