So, i want to build a networked camera robot but i'm a little confused on how to handle picture transmissions through Xbee.
What i'm currently able to do with Xbee is send individual characters between my computer and the arduino. However i don't know where to begin with photo data.
My first question is, both the Xbee and the Camera board require usage of a Tx and Rx pin, Can i designate a certain pin to be an Rx or Tx or is there only the 2 pins on the standard aruino Uno (0 and 1).
Second, the camera board from radioshack does not include much documentation (that i understand lol). However, based off the provided example code, the data seems to be stored in a buffer and when a picture is taken, the file is saved on this line
myFile.write(VC0706_rx_buffer+5,last_data_length);
How could i, instead of saving it to a file, send it to X-CTU on my computer and process the data into an image that can be viewed on a website?
Sorry, if what i'm saying is hard to understand, i don't know much about serial communication. Any help is greatly appreciated. And lastly, i'm not looking to buy anything else, i want to work with what i have.
