ardrino header files

i am trying to use a logitech web cam to communicate with an ardrino how can this be done, completly stuck. please help

What do you want to communicate? The Arduino is not able to process video.

i saw a video that had an ardrino controling a servo moter through highest pixel of a web cam, is there a way to go about that

thank you for responding.

Apparently you can although you have to convert the image to 8 by 8 format so would never really get moving images You would have to down convert a still frame image (meaning you could only ever transfer one frame at a time) into an 8 by 8 image because the Arduino is only capable of 8 bits that mean using matrix math’s and external memory
Not knowing an awful lot about Arduino

I would imagine your algorithm might possibly be


Activate webcam snap shot
read the stream 8 bits at a time
Write to external memory
Perform resize using matrix math’s
Output to screen
But apparently yes it can be done

There are some references to this on the net Some Saying it cant be others say it cant I think its possible myself but you will have to research a bit more

Here’s a link I thought it would be possible and it is
http://processing.org/discourse/beta/num_1263175730.html

Heres some other articles for you this involves using a pc Someone has suggested using raspberry pi that would be the ultimate answer because you simply write the software in java otherwise you would have to use the arduino to control the cam on the pc then snap shot with pc software program such as java media framework for example taking the picture and then downsizing to 8 by 8 so you could transfer over serial link to external ram on the arduino board so as to output from arduino to say lcd

Pixel grabber class if your using java by the way with Javamedia framework and obviously the javax.com package with serial events

That would make sense

An arduino is very good at controlling servos, for pan, tilt, and zoom functions. See "Fun With Servos(Fun with Servos)":http://arduinotronics.blogspot.com/2012/03/fun-with-servos.html

That sounds extremely unuseful. What method do you propose to connect a screen (what kind of screen)? I've used vga coprocessors with the arduino, but again, the arduino is not the correct tool for video processing. I use it to output simple data on a monitor. See "Arduino to VGA (Arduino to VGA)":http://arduinotronics.blogspot.com/2012/03/arduino-to-vga.html

Have look yourself they obviously can "Unusefull lots of articles and entries on utube as well " Interesting !! Steve

Toodle loo dooo

I think thats really clever myself but thats me

In fact I think that’s so clever that’s just given the answer reference Id cards smart card developement with impregnated Id photographic but then I always knew this could be done

That will stop your thieves in the petrol stations in the UK wont it

Now all we do is insist they incorporate your photograph inside a chip and your registration and you will have to put the drivers card into the pump first before you can get petrol and if you decide to try and walk off with paying we simply send the drivers card a packet of information so that you cant start your vehicle in otherwords say goodbye to keys for motors Lets introduce smart card ignition

Cool huh I bet your thoroughly jarred off now " idi bidi bidi bid " he he he

Or we simply put into place a nice part of the vehicles brain and insert a gsm modem so we can send a lovley little sat signal down to your vehicle and you cant move your car

Oh dear is you rolloxed now

I am howling with laughter at this

Lekker man baie lekker " Thats what i call clever ! " thats not only being clever thats forward thinking

I bet the Arabs like that idea Bet they do you know , In fact I bet they like that idea so much I bet OPEC put the price of petrol up tomorrow just to illustrate how much they like that idea

I bet just for the sake of chance here that this country give up on ripping petrol pumps off and I bet the public opt for the driver id card to stop the culprits from stealing petrol from the stations


Then I bet the car manufactures follow suite with gsm in inside the vehicle brains so that if you decide to tamper with the vehicles brain it immobilizes the car

In fact ill put my odds that this is what they will now do just with that silly stupid idea Steve because people like me you know are really stupid "Thick !! " just silly stupid me, because im also really unsusefull as well you see apart from all the other insults , assaults which ever you prefer

And i also bet your public start to change thier attitudes super duper fast hmmm bet that happens as well

What else Steve, because I’m so stupid and so dumb I thought this silly Bluetooth idea I mean what a waste of time . I mean the audio is just total rubbish according to Earl and its so silly to stream music from your mobile phone and so silly to say to the likes of RCA records for example plus their artists who are losing money left right and centre , “Hey listen chaps here’s is what you do You place your music on a website and then what you do is you bill the consumer for a download and you encode your music with that mobile phones registration or electronic serial number so that they cant copy your beloved work “ , and then what they can do is play this live in their houses to a Bluetooth amplifier 2 , or in thioer cars

Seriously you know I’m really dumb you know

And I thought gosh you know what theirs no point in me telling the mobile phone companies what to do here either is their because I’m far to stupid and then I thought gosh you know what

There are all the car radio manufactures as well I mean what’s the point , lets just introduce fibre optics so that no one can sell a single amplifier again or change a head unit "How apsolutley silly of me How unsusefull can I get Geeee wizz man "

Lets all give up know

Tell you what the information on the net is so unusefull sod it I think ill just retire and watch what you have learnt or how little you have learnt which amounts in most cases to one whole great big fat zero because im that thick you see I saw all of this coming and when I try to say to you , “Here look at this , go and read this, go and read that , go learn that , go look that up “ ,

Gosh Im just lecturing and after all I shouldn’t do that should I well not accc some of you

I should really pay no attention to this at all because Im so thick and you are ever so clever you don’t have to worry about anything or learn anything at all do you

Fine cool init bruv no wa ti mean “What a waste of time !!”

Can you just fix this bruv as well cause like all we wanna do is ell de car maan init know what I mean bruv do get my drift maan And lets not pay that man for doing our work which we cant do ourselves that’s you top brass in this country too

Too late then hmm as usual , lets take another 150 companies down then that’s a good idea better than listening to silly, dumb stupid old markie what with his ideas on national id cards etc I mean what an idiot yeah !!! sos now now its all the foreigners to blame Its all their fault you know Like hell it is its your countries fault for not listening to some of us with our stupid ideas and silly lectures as you put it and its your fault for not looking up a simple datasheet because after all your fantastic sales people arent you !!

Fantastic managers who can tell a customer to go and contact head office themselves after all they are only spending money with you that keeps you employed and in bussiness and then bar them for a year Good idea serious good idea Good for bussiness that is After all you know best

Or lets tell them to get out of the shop after spending 5 grand with you Good idea that Good for bussiness

Thats what you think is it !!

They are not important

And uhm hey if I don’t like the fact your in business and I’ m not stuff it ill just come round and smash your windows “Brill “, super idea , Incredible , Next we get to Transco right ooh yes have you been to university , “Yes “ , can you write us a database so that we can keep track of the customer records , “Yes could you pay for my college fees please after I’ve finished so that I can do this properly “ , yes is the reply we will do that

On completion “Oh uhm do you like that, Oh uhm , Management restructure £6.50 per hour so write software so that they as managers / Directors can get their company straightened out In other words thanks kick you up the Jacksi and you haven’t got a job anymore “ Good old Britain Nope definitely good for business this Like hell But im mustn’t get cross Nope because after all that’s ok too isn’t it

Hmmm OK fine nope definat;ley all wrong me Not all thier me hmmm

Next Pro plus , hmmm , mark wed like you to come and work for us Ok give it a go , shout scream, Holla, down the phone at the customers , at each other , and yes do lost of work for them Yes don’t dislike them until you do business with them

Then Isaac I have a customer screaming His speakers have blown up His cars in a competition tomorrow I want to do more business I need this bloke to come out on tops

In other words I need him to at least get a place in this competition and I know your equipment is good by today’s standards its not bad , Answer Ill replace that at my own discretion Ill decide this but the speakers are exactly a week old he’s bought an amp two subs and Ive got to turn round and say no go Like hell , but I mustn’t get cross nah that’s not allowed even though hes spent the best part of £200 to £400 and I service all your amps for you and provide a warranty to the customer

Because after all Im stupid not all there acc you That’s this country , hmmm Indeed

what I should have done is walked in thier into your offices with a shot gun and blwon your head off your shoulders thats what I should have done and you see me Now i dont care Now Ill have you

Next we get to Midbass Vibe Fly oh yes five years later every weekend while people are doing their work and have done their work and im sitting trying to train, get people back into work who want to work half paralyzed because of some idiot with families to support and I’m told "Oh director not here to pay this weekend cant sign a check " never mind ,no electric, no gas, no income " nah that doesn’t bother you

Never mind no food never mind 24 hours non stop pack boxes, do repairs, write reports till god knows what hours in the morning, never mind hell we can do what we like

Like hell you can Not anymore you pack your bags and you run and I mean run because when we get hold of you there is no telling as to what I’m going to do to you Do yourselves a favor and vacate the country No I’m not even halfway their yet

In fact Im so dumb that i slept down your shops paying your bills because your country shafted you Thats how dumb i am thginking poor bloody sod old age pensioner look what they have donme to this poor man and yes hes a good friend of mine too A hole bloody month working non stop 24 hours i didnt even get a chance to get home and sleep because of what you idiots have done

Nope Im thick ,No sorry your must be right to save British business Yes I must be because I cant stand the way you treat people of less importance acc some of you than yourselves Some poor blasted bloke whose been left in the cold stuffed because you as a government didn’t take responsibility to ensure this man was trained Only this man fought for your country to protect YOU !!!

I’m definitely not the same as you Correct

Correct

Next we get to the people who have spinal injuries who cant walk because your government thought great idea

Lets cut down on NHS staff

Lets put nursing staff under so much pressure that we leave them alone under training without supervision, Correct 100% Correct,

I don’t care anymore, Correct, so that when they perform a lumber puncture , they walk out of the hospital under conservative government paralyzed Correct , 1005 correct

Then because of your bloody greed, and I do mean bloody greed when their stair case lift packs up the cost as old age pensioners who cant walk for one single board which you can manufacture in this country without being greedy at all comes to How much !! How much Pat £500 for one control board two relays , one pic micro processor , not difficult to write software for , a couple of led’s , some basic remote control unit and your answer is

Aaaah £40.00 please callout, £500 replacement board and Your so called engineer hasn’t even bothered to check the safety switches or pulled out a schematic diagram, spent five minutes in the house and said “Sorry control board !! “ , Cost of board to make, program assemble even if I did this myself by hand to start with Yes One weeks work , Correct do I need to be that greedy NO ,,, Total cost to customer and still be fair £100 and I can keep people employed at that price

Thats Stannah Lifts for you the company that really cares ha ha Would youn like thier email or website address , hmmm ? Would you ?? just ask no problem

That’s Stannah for you the company that really cares ha ha , Total cost to service the pcb at that price £8.00 for the micro , I’m telling you , two relays , £4.85 each a bit of labour £40.00 How much please add this up Ding , ding £57.70 even cheaper

Asking questions yet are we I would be ?? LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS because Id want to know why my parents are being treated like this as to my family so you’d better come back with some answers And that’s another man who fought for YOU !!!!


You saw one old age pensioner, One DHSS system two people in diabolical conditions and YOU though great guaranteed money who cares

Aaaah but I mustent get angry after all that’s wrong hmm , what with all these students unemployed

Ok fine

And you wonder why people hate your guts You are joking arent you Love you yeah like hell
