Re: Battery powered raspberry pi

I agree. I'll have to say that the DSP on the Pi sucks too! I boot from a harddisk and I am barely able to graze the available speed! However, as I mentioned, even though I use a Pi as my WebServer, I'd hate to use it for vision processing. The DS would beat it by many times with the FPS you can vs the Pi!

But, I really don't see too much latency in using a communication method like RS232/I2c/SPI/CAN/DIO/Parallel/UART (similar as RS232, for those who don't know about it)/etc.

I have a good idea!
let me have a linux laptop acting as a router, running in school, running on the greatest-used channel. That way, I might be able to simulate the network conditions in competition. Note, there are many APs in school, so tons of WIFI interference is available.
The Linux computer should be running BackTrack-Linux, testing all the network parameters, like signal quality, etc. and recording it in a file. The Linux computer should also be running iftop, netstat and other utilities to measure the throughput etc. On the DS, the response times should be recorded to be analyzed. That would give a birds-eye view of what's going on!
