I recently bought the LinkSprite color jpeg camera: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12804 And the Arduino Wireless SD Shield: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoWirelessShield

I was wondering how to connect the camera to the Arduino and how to have it take and save a picture to the sd card when a button is pressed.

  • What type of Arduino? The camera requires serial communication. HardwareSerial would be a good idea but that would require a Mega or Leonardo etc (board with extra serial ports). SoftwareSerial is possible but difficult to get to work at higher speed. Commented Dec 7, 2015 at 9:48

Connect the camera to a serial port (hardware or software serial depending on Arduino board). See further information on wiki.

Control the camera and fetch the image over the serial connections (see commands) and write to the SD disc.
