Hey guys,
This might be a basic question but I am trying to get n arduino to record both video and audio. I have a mic I can hook up to the arduino, but do I need a Wave shield to actually write the audio to the micro SD card? I dont need the robot this is going into to playback the audio - I simply want it to record it as a file so that I can drag it onto my computer later on.
Also, this is probably not the best place for this kind of question, but if I wanted to record video as well as see the video in real time on an Android phone i need video transmitters right?
If I wanted to combine the audio and video into one file automatically do I need anything extra?
Thanks guys!
It sounds like you want to make a video camera (with audio like most video cameras) but with some kind of wireless transmitter. That's way beyond anything I'd attempt to build myself...

You'll at least need additional memory and you'll need some additional electronics for the video. The Arduino is barely fast-enough for audio so you won't be able to process video through it. However the Arduino can act as a "master controller" for your audio/video recorder.

I think Bluetooth is too slow so you'd probably have to use Wi-Fi. Then, you'll need an application on the phone to receive and display the audio/video.

That's called [u]multiplexing[/u] and the details will depend on the file format.

Well you need an SD card that is for sure, you can make your own if you like, not too hard.

No a lot more than that.

You can not do that with an Arduino.
Perhaps the Yun could do it but you are in Raspberry Pi territory here.
