Vision Processing with Raspberry Pi

[matan129]

So, after reading through your suggestions here and consulting with my programming team , we have decided to try developing a vision system for our robot with Raspberry Pi, mainly because we already have one (also, if we wanted to port the code elsewhere afterwards it would be pretty easy).

We are struggling how to start the developing - I have suggested using OpenCV and C++ (.Net implementations are not relevant because they are a pain to compile to ARM, even with Mono).

I just wanted to see if there are any other possibilities/recommendations for developing on the RPi.
Also, how does the communication between the board and the RoboRio/cRio work?
