Remote controlled web camera on FPGA

Video communication implementation between remote camera and screen using 2 ZedBoard cards.

IoT (Internet of Things) is a major trend both in the industry and in the commercial market nowadays. The project goal is to establish wired Ethernet and WiFi communication between two sites. Previous project established joystick – stepper motor connection.

 

Using two ZedBoard Development Boards – one with OV7670 camera and second with screen we were able to send the video stream between the sites.

Part A of the project based on wired Ethernet connection and LwIP protocol, this part consists transfer of still picture from camera board to screen board. Along with the picture transfer, the communication kept between the joystick and stepper motor.

Part B used the Pmod WiFi component, made by Digilent, which enables upgrading the video transfer from wired to wireless.

Based on the WiFi communication that has been established and proofed as working, the last part of the project upgraded the SoPC experiment, one of HSDSL’s projects, from wired Ethernet connection to wireless between ZedBoard card and GUI on PC.
