There should be enough throughput in whatever medium that you are communicating with the cRio to send two floating point numbers (the pan -1 to 1, and the tilit -1 to 1). ex: processed data, pan servo val, tilt servo val this shouldn't be a problem because you are already communicating with the cRio, right? |

' edit: I know how to use the serial, just want to use ethernet, 1gb of info per second? I can just let that go |

and are you going to use axis 206 (and its replacement) cameras on the coprocessor? if so, look up mjpeg. that is the protocol on which they send the images over ethernet |

Re: Using A PS3 With The cRio
Do you have a camera in mind?
Most USB cameras that I have seen have been primarily webcams, and don't have very good resolution, or high framerate. Edit: As far as communication over ethernet to the cRio goes, implementation details can be found by looking through the 2CAN driver source. That can be found at Firstforge. Firstforge 2CAN repository Login is required |

Re: Using A PS3 With The cRio
Considering that the PS3 will have to be hooked up to the control board with a 20 amp breaker slot, this has just become a power-usuage problem. I imagine that it may be possible if the breaker was dipped in liquid nitrogen prior to the match, in order to cheat the power use, but I don't think it would last long, and there would also have to be a regulator to give it the proper juice (one that can handle extreme voltage drops common on the robots).
Edit: apparently the PS3's newer models use far less than I expected, even after upgrades, but 60 watts does not seem like a logical figure. |

Re: Using A PS3 With The cRio
Me too. The battery should easily handle the PS3's load, but the problem is giving the PS3 power without inverting the current (I'm working under the assumption that we can only regulate, not invert or overvolt). A regulator would have to be either built or purchased which handles the DC, as the stock PSU would only handle AC.

I haven't found a rule that would prohibit it, and if it is not prohibited it can be done. As far as the DC PSU goes, there are ATX connectors for 12v DC power supplies, assuming the PS3 uses a regular power supply. |
Re: Using A PS3 With The cRio
One rule says that you can't alter the power pathways. I'm not sure what that means exactly, though...

And as far as the part that says "(including the power pathways to other sensors or circuits)", the PSU and the PS3 would all be the same "custom circuit" because the PS3 can't be used without the PSU. |
