Difficulty Level = 3<\/em><\/strong> [What’s this?]<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to overlaying text and graphics onto a video signal, the Video Experimenter<\/a> shield can also be used to capture image data from a video source and store it in the Arduino’s SRAM memory. The image data can be displayed to a TV screen and can be overlayed onto the original video signal.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, the main loop of the program is this simple:<\/p>\n

\r\nvoid loop() {\r\n  tv.capture();\r\n  tv.resume();\r\n  tv.delay_frame(5);\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
NOTE: <\/strong>On versions of Arduino greater than 1.6, you may need to add a 1ms delay at the end of loop. Just the line “delay(1);”.<\/p>\n
