Hello all,

Little bit of topic, but can i transmit data from a webcam(USB) with
a serial transmitter/receiver module (a 433mhz module that transmits
through the air)?

thanks pieter-jan

    No
    USB is too fast for your transmitter

    Hi,
    I doubt you would be able to do it unless you had a pretty fancy RF module
    because video take a lot of bandwidth. Even if you had some type of compression
    system that could get your video down to < 200k / second it would still be very
    hard because how would you modulate the signal? I don't think you can transmit
    that much bandwidth through FSK. I know fancier data transmission systems exist
    but I think it would be very difficult.
