Hello
i'm a hobbyist robot maker and i want to take my projects to higher level so i'm trying to install a camera on my my robot and send live feed to my laptop or if possible to another arduino board that has a tft shield installed. But i have no idea what kind of hardware i need to do so. i found the OV2640 to be a good camera with 2MP resolution, and i think using a wifi shield is the proper way to send the feed not using the XBEE. i need your professional advice on what hardware should i use for this project (arduino boards, cameras, shields....)
if possible to another arduino board that has a tft shield installed.
That is not going to happen in any meaningful way.
Forget the Arduino and use a Wi-Fi enabled camera directly to your laptop.
A simple router bot project that might be of interest.
What about mounting an old or cheap Android phone/PDA to your robot? They can stream video, depending on the app that you install on the device.
The link feature is messed up. Replace %22http with http:
I use this and it works ok. Mini wireless spy cam
But being that it is so small, the range is only about 30 ft.
However if you don't plan on going that far, you can also use this Pan & tilt platform
As for a display, you can get something similar (make sure it allows video input) to this Mini 7" digital tv

What kind of output does the camera have ? AFAIK, the XBEE outputs SERIAL, (ASCII) so unless the camera can send an image as ASCII I don't see how that would work. There are digital modems that send
digital (1 in = 1 out, 0 in = 0 out) but they are expensive. If I am wrong, please correct me. Most people
use 5.8 Ghz video transmitters (NTSC) that are sold as a transmitter/receiver pair for quadcopters. I have
one that tranmitted the NTSC video from my GOPRO live and I recorded the receiver output using a portable DVR with composite input .
