Project Description

Our design project is to capture video and send it over a canbus to a computer for viewing. CAN stands for Controller area network. A can bus is a 4 wire serial bus system mostly used in automotive and industrial applications. Midtech currently has systems in place using CAN bus for GPS guidance, sprayer control, gauge monitoring and a wide range of other applications. Although the can bus is a very robust system, sending video over the CAN bus poses many problems.

Proposed Design

The design will use a C328-7640 camera with JPEG compression, a 12C32 processor and a can transceiver to complete the task.
