Hello,

How can I sent some pictures that the Raspberry PI is tacking to an Arduino, that will be controlled from Windows GUI via a cable ?

I would be ass well interested in sending images to a GPIO port as a stream of bits, is that possible ?

Where is the GUI running ? What does the Arduino do ?
What is the GUI for ? How are the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino
connected ? How is the Windows machine connected with
the Pi ? How are the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino connected ?

Thanks for your answer.

I want the GUI to run on Windows, my project will require an easy to use interface. I am using an Arduino because I can't find a way to connect the Raspberry PI straight away with Windows, and there are some tutorials for connecting the Arduino to Windows, and run the program with a GUI.

So what I mainly want from the Arduino will be to control the Raspberry PI camera, to take the data images from the Raspberry Pi and sent them to Windows, GUI respectively.

I was thinking to connect the Arduino and Raspberry PI by the I2C pins.

Why don't you use something based on TCP over a direct
Ethernet connection ? It should be very fast and easy to connect
the PC and the Pi this way directly.

You don't even need a cross-over cable for this , because
the Pis Ethernet jack is auto-sensing.

Using an Arduino as a "bridge device" between a Raspberry Pi and a Windows PC would be very slow.
