I have a camera unit from a Syma x11 C quadcopter that I'd like to experiment with in some arduino projects. The unit includes a micro SD slot. I'm just not sure how to trigger the camera to take a photo or video.
While it was on the quadcopter, you would press a button of the transmitter to take a photo, and hold the button to initiate the video.
There are solder points on the board..+,-,DV, DC. Only +,-, and DV were used on the quadcopter.
The only thing I tries so far is the blink example program. 5v and ground to the respective leads on the cam, and pin 10 out to the DV lead on the cam. I figured it should take a photo every high cycle. It didn't work. I even tried different delays..nothing worked.
I was wondering the same thing, i have a camera off of a old Syma drone and I would like it to use it to take pictures with my arduino. The camera has 3 wires, Vcc, Signal, and Gnd.
It seems we have waited - for two years now - for someone to cite a document specifying the camera, or at the very least, a set of pictures of sufficient resolution (which requires full outside daylight, short of a fully equipped studio) to examine the module in question.
