There is however one really neat application of cameras with HBs (but you don't need to
interface to the HB) which is to attach a camera and a video transmitter to your robot
and then pilot it from your computer while watching a monitor. This can be quite fun.
I've found that for "near" experiences, using the Rabbit TV Transmitter works great for
this (substitute two 9v batteries in series for the wall-wart supply).

This sounds more like what I was thinking of. I whanted the robot to be
able to capture still pictures and send them through a digital link to
the host computer.

The idea was to design an expansion board for the HB that captured an
imageand stored it until the HB had finished sending it.I4m not intending
to do real time processing of the captured image or anything similar (so
far).

I appreciate your sugestions. I could still use some references to start
learning about the use of CCDs.

Thanks
Oriol

The limits on available user ram will make this difficult at best. If you can assume a 4K byte buffer for your image, that is only 64 pixels on a side, not much to work with.
