Re: Using a Raspberry Pi for camera tracking

I would say use an O-Droid device. such as the X2 or U2. 1706 used it and was running the vision code at >25 fps. It is much more powerful than the raspberry pi and the same size. We powered it through the 5V port in the power distrubution board. It needed a heat sync, so we 3d printed a case for it, which allowed an installment of a fan, and wired that into the power board too.
