GR-PEACH Special Project: Setting Up a Web Camera

Web Server Part 3

The Gadget Renesas GR-PEACH board can conduct the image processing of a camera. This project introduces using GR-PEACH as a web camera, using a security digital camera which is commercially available.

First, save the "index.htm" file on the Micro SD for browser indication.

Right click the following link and execute “save the object in a file", for download.

• index.htm GR-PEACH Web Server Web Camera Sample (HTM)

Next, insert the Micro SD in an SD socket on the back side of GR-PEACH and copy to build the following sketch program in gr_sketch.cpp and write it down into GR-PEACH.
