Uart Camera Module C328

Hello,

I have a few questions concerning the c328 module before probably buying it :slight_smile::

http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/uart-camera-module-with-jpeg-compression-c328-p-209.html

  1. Are the pictures temporarily stored on the camera eeprom before they are sent using the serial connection? Or do I need to store the on a sd card for example?

  2. How many Mb is a average picture (JPEG)? Just to get a idea :slight_smile:

I want to use the camera for a wireless project using the nrf24L01 but I donโ€™t know if the wireless transfer rate is fast enough when a lot of images are sent?

Thanks in advance.

You may choose to download the pic from EEProm or ask the module to send via serial directly.

  1. How many Mb is a average picture (JPEG)? Just to get a idea :slight_smile:

About 15-25KB in size.

We havenโ€™t use this module in practical project yet, maybe you could refer to the great walkthough: kalarakis.gr/Entry_001138.doc

Thanks for the reply :slight_smile: Still a few question remaining:

I want to send the still pictures or video wireless to a host. Sending pictures wireless is not a problem.

This is a single file that I will store on a SD card and send wireless to the host.

What format is the video (i am not experienced on this area)? Will this be separate pictures send with a high rate (frame rate)? Or is this a raw format (one stream)? I ask this question because I also want to send video using wireless if possible. Iโ€™ve heard that sending a raw format (one continuous file) is very difficult for a beginner.

How fast can pictures be taken using the still mode?

Thanks in advance.

You may refer to the manual: seeedstudio.com/depot/datash โ€ฆ 0UM_V4.pdf
It outputs JPG, the capture speed varies according to the resolution. Plz let me know if other question :slight_smile:
