Adafruit: Who makes the CommTool software

[davidh]

Hi

What is the name of the company makes the CommTool software and the TTL Camera? I wanted to see if they had CommTool for a Mac

Thanks
David

There is no Mac software version

Can the pictures be taken off the flash drive with something like photoshop or the standard software that comes with OS'?

Thanks
David

If you have an SD card reader, then yes, the card will show up as a normal drive on the computer. If you mean using the Arduino as the reader, then no.

I'm guessing that you mean if I were to attach an LCD to an Arduino then I would not be able to look at the pictures.

The photos from the camera are in JPEG format. The Arduino does not have enough memory to decompress JPEGs for display.

Since I can look at the pictures from the SD on my Apple then do I really need CommTool?

Thanks

Not really. The Comm tool is a nice interactive way to test the camera. But if you are getting images already, then you are all set!
