Video Experimenter on the Seeeduino Mega

Arduino, Video

The nootropic design Video Experimenter shield uses some pretty advanced features of the Arduino’s ATmega328 microcontroller. One downside of this is that you can’t use the Video Experimenter shield on an Arduino Mega. Why? Well, the designers of the...

Digit Shield Limited Edition: Blue

Arduino

Blue Digit Shields are now available as a limited edition. I have only a very small stock of these fully assembled and tested Digit Shields for Arduino. Blue LEDs and LED displays are much more expensive than red and green, but I am able to offer these at the same...

Driving Multiple Digit Shields from One Arduino

Arduino

Difficulty Level = 2 [What’s this?] The Digit Shield is a very easy-to-use Arduino shield that provides a digital readout for your Arduino projects. Some example projects are here. One of my customers asked me about driving multiple Digit Shields from one...

Overlay GPS Data on Video

Arduino, GPS, Video, XBee

Difficulty Level = 7 [What’s this?] Several people in the FPV RC world (that’s First Person View Remote Control for the uninitiated) have contacted me about the possibility of using a Video Experimenter shield as an OSD solution (on screen display). People...

Decoding Closed Captioning Data

Arduino, Video

Difficulty Level = 8 [What’s this?] How Does Closed Captioning Work? Closed captioning is the technology used to embed text or other information in an NTSC television broadcast (North America, Japan, some of South America). It is typically a transcription of the...

Arduino Computer Vision

Arduino, Video

Difficulty Level = 5 [What’s this?] The Video Experimenter shield can give your Arduino the gift of sight. In the Video Frame Capture project, I showed how to capture images from a composite video source and display them on a TV. We can take this concept further...
