live Video stream using arduino

hey guys I was just wondering if it is possible to use an arduino uno/mega/yun to stream a webcam/fpv wirelessly using something like a xbee to make it remote, due to me being new to this and still planing out my project I am interested in making a live video feed to run through my computer, if there are any other alternatives please let me know I would be thankful.

AVR's and xbee's won't cut it for anything more than a slowly refreshing image (I'm only guessing though).

An ESP8266 might be what you are looking for. A little (far) more grunt at a max of 180Mhz and has wifi built in. You can program these using the Arduino IDE also.

For $3.50 it may be what you need and should be capable of reading a 640x480 pixel camera at a reasonable rate. There is already people doing similar projects which you'll find over at www.esp8266.com

You'll need to by an FTDI programmer also. However you can get a camera, esp8266 board and an ftdi for less than $20.

thanks,
also to do this how do I connect this stuff up and can I use a webcam or do I need an fpv camera?

The Yun is the only thing that you stand a chance of doing this with.

Ok thanks, furthermore can you connect the yun and the uno together so you only have to use one power source and it can run of the same code?

A Yun is basically an Arduino and a Linux box connected together anyway so there is little point in having another Arduino in the mix. But yes if you want you can run them from the same supply.

1+

Yun="linux box" + "arduino leonardo"

move your uno code into leonardo, You are all set.

Better plan:

"Dragino Yun shield" +"Arduino Uno"
