FPGAs using a wireless camera?
« on: July 31, 2020, 01:48:52 am »
This is way beyond anything I could do, but... can you connect a bluetooth camera to an FPGA. My intial idea would be to use an esp32 to record an image when movement is present then stream that to an FPGA for capture and possible analysis? I may be missing the whole point here but thought I'd ask.

Just link it with a second ESP32 or whatever to convert the Wifi signal back into SPI or something that's easy to interface with a FPGA. That said, for image analysis, a GPU or machine learning ASIC would probably be an easier and more cost effective way to do it.
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.
