I found a solution to the image processing problem.
http://microcontrollershop.com/produ...ucts_id=352 9
No battery: Legal
4 USB ports = Good
Runs Linux (The Arm 9 Linux uses 32 mb of ram, and this has 32 mb ram... So IDK...)
I realized I can not use the PS3 or a PC due to lack of voltage generated form the batteries... Don't they need a minimum of 110v? and the battery is 12 v.
It says it supports up to 4 webcams, but I do not know how well it can perform while processing images.
I can either just process the data and send the raw data obtained from the camera to the cRio and process the logic there or process the logic on the board. Thats a minor detail that can be experimented with. |
Another option would be a mini-ITX motherboard. Some of them have a 12VDC jack for power input. I know a number of jetway boards in particular use this form of power input. If you use the default BIOS settings I believe you can run without a CMOS battery, but I'm not positive about that. Using a small SSD for storage you may be able to get an FRC legal computer running.
