AVRcam communications
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2005 6:41 amHi All,
I've been looking at possible ways to add more functionality to AVRcam.
One idea i've been thinking about is to bolt on a PIC 18F252 running at 40Mhz to try and get more power for running image processing routines.
I guess at this point, all you AVR fans are throwing beer cans at me
My main reason for choosing PIC is that i've used them for years and have already invested in a good compiler. So using PIC will shorten my learning curve with image processing.
So, my big question... what would be the best way to get the image data across from the Mega8 to the 18F252. Judging by the 4 secs delay for an image dump, serial would not be a good option.
How about I2c? would the mega8 be able to push the data out this way or would the ram/buffer still be an issue.
Thank you for any suggestions or comments.
Paul
