Good news Everyone !
Tomorrow morning we’ll be presenting our project concept and guideline in class 😉
We defined how the different modules in our system will interact, their functionalities and use, and synthesize them into PSSCs to distribute them to one responsible in the group.
We also scheduled the dead-lines of the different PSSCs, I hope we’ll have time to do everything we want or a least the core ideas to make our project fun and work !
For the components, we looked for a particular wi-fi stream video module, we first checked the ESP8266 to see if it could fir for us, but we won’t be able to stream video between the camera and the wi-fi module with an UART. We are know thinking about taking a Texas CC3000, with an SPI.
See you next time 😉
Just curious, why did you prefer the cc3000 over the cc3200?
Is the tool chain really bad? Maybe the following link can help:

Also, the esp8266 has this:

Is it too slow/small for your application?
Hi 😉
We chose the CC3000 over the 3200 because we wanted to buy this https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12072 . In fact we don’t have the material to weld CC3200 on a PCB, and so we wanted to buy an already printed wi-fi module.
Presently we are thinking about taking this module : https://ack.me/products/AMW006_Numbat , but we’ll have to buy an antenna for the wi-fi.
Finally we didn’t take the ESP8266 because we want to do DMA between the camera module and the wi-fi module via SPI 😉
If you don’t want to solder with your oven (would be fun), then this link might be interesting too:

If one day you manufacture your product, have a look at Taobao:

Thanks for the links 😉 even if I don’t know how to read chinese ^^
