D5M digital camera with DE2

Hi, I am planning to implement a heart rate monitoring system using the DE2 board. I plan to implement the pulse oxymetry technology for which I would need a camera. I also plan to use the Nios...

Thank you for the response people.

@Allen, you make it sound very easy to use the GPIOs. I am fairly new to the world of FPGAs and still playing around with the Nios processor on my DE2 board. I spent 5 days just getting my sdram running. Tried everything I read here on the forum. PLL's didn't work, Altera's sdram mega core function didn't work. Finally I found the Univerty IP Core called Clock Signals that did the trick for me. So I am determined to dive in this new world but it takes time for me.

Regarding GPIOs and Infrared modules, do I have to do all the processing like using the ADC, DAC, etc? Also I wasn't able to find any good documentation on using the IrDa Core?

Can you people point me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot again. Appreciate your inputs.

P.S: If I am not mistaken, Allen, you have some videos on YouTube, right, under the Terasic group? Thanks for those videos too.
