Hi All,
I am a newbie with web programming, but I've done lots of other C/C++ embedded programming. I have a small single board computer running Linux, with a USB web cam and a WiFi connection.
- I have the webcam grabbing images one frame per seconds, and storing the image in a webcam.jpeg file.
- I'm using the "boa" web server to send the image out over the WiFi connection, using the following:
<html>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1">
<title>Live Video Feed</title>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h2>Live Video Feed</h2>
<img src=webcam.jpeg>
</center>
</body>
</html>
Now this works OK, but there is no real synchronization between the webcam frame grabs and the web server sending out an image. Is there any way to tie the webcam frame grabs to the actual transmission of images over WiFi clients ?
thanks,
Rich
