2 CMU Cameras... AT ONCE!
Today our programmers achieved something that I have not seen anyone do before. Get 2 CMU cameras up and running off of one robot controller. We recorded a bit of footage of them in action and I've uploaded videos in both YouTube and Google Video flavors.

Woah! Now that is some nice stereo vision. It's a great idea to figure out your position relative to the rack. Autonomous mode would rock with this.

First of all congrats on a job well done. How will two cameras help you out doesnt the camera(s) send a signal to the motor to approach the target? If your on the field and the cameras seek out two different sources , then what? Sorry if the questions seem stupid, its just out of curiosity.

"Yeah I'm taking a video of it to put on Chief Delphi..." - priceless...
This seems pretty cool. I'm not sure how useful it will be, but I'd love for you to prove me wrong. |

Theres alot of cool things to do with 2 cameras. Your cameras both run the same search algorithm. If you have one search the left and one search the right you will effectivly cover more area and they wount both be searching in the same area.

There is only one serial port on the controller (aside from the programming port). How did you get both cameras to interface?

At one point i thought it would be cool to make a scriptng API that used te programming port as a console of sorts. I abandoned the idea wen i saw how much of a pain it was to read/write to the EEPROM. |
