Using Arduino to Pull Images from an Analog Camera
Carlos Agell of Irvine, CA, used an Arduino and Nootropic Designs’ Video Experimenter Shield to acquire images from an analog camera. The quality isn’t high, but it’s a neat hack!
Arduino
As the preeminent tool for makers, Arduino is a versatile platform that covers almost every type of creative making. With its simple-to-use coding language and fun programming concepts, Arduino enables users to create modern electronics with ease. From beginner level projects like flashing LED lights to more advanced builds such as interactive robots, there are an endless number of possibilities when it comes to building projects with Arduino. Whether you are new or an experienced builder in search of fresh ideas, these posts will provide interesting Arduino tutorials and unique ideas that may spark your creativity and motivate you take on any type of maker project!
