i am pretty new to robotics...i have just made a simple line following robot using photoresistors.. Now i want to do the same thing using a camera...
i have a cheap ccd camera which just has the red output port ( normal AV wire port )... Can i use this camera??
if so how will i be able to configure it??
and will i still be able to use the ATMEGA16 that i used for the old robot??
i am totally lost as to how to connect the camera to the microcontroller!!.. Can anyone also suggest a good link where i will be able to learn the programming knowledge i will need to do the same....
Thanks,
Tarush

I recommend just buying a CMUcam or AVRcam (search for both in the forum/web)

Both the AVRcam and CMUcam are open source and have both schematics and code for you to copy.
Have you checked out RoboRealm (http://www.roborealm.com/) yet?

John Orlando, the maker of AVRCam, told me that he ships worldwide and has many customers around the globe. So send him an email to get a quote on the shipment for your country. I'm sure he'll help you gladly.
