Is it possible to do with a BS2?· Take a still photo from a camera·and transmit it via a 900MHZ transmitter, receive it and display it on a computer screen? I know that there is quite a bit more to it but can this be done?

    Hello,

    The BASIC Stamp does not have enough memory to store the data for an image. Even if it were stored on an external EEPROM, the BASIC Stamp could only fetch a byte and send it then repeat. This would be quite cumbersome and the other side would still have to reconstruct the data into an image file. Of course, you wouldn’t be able to display the image then. But you an create one using a Propeller chip. Take care.
