Anyone used a Gameboy Camera on thier robot ?

i have an issue of popular science from a long time ago that had a kit to controll your robot with a gameboy and i have read stuff on the internet a while ago about using a gameboy camera which camera are you talking about, the color gba one or the bettter pocket gameboy one

This is the original gameboy camera (black and white screen) I think...

It is the Mitsubishi artificial retina chip.. does enhancing, edge extraction all on chip.

I don't have a clue which GB camera I am talking about ...

I just noticed an article on the net last night using it on a bot so I thought I'd add it to my list of candidates. Probably the Pocket one since you say it is better.

Here's the page that I found:

Hmmm - good info!

Do you know of any VC++ code out there for it ? Are there any kits out there including this dedicated to robotics or do we have to hack it ?

Thanks !

hack away.

I haven't seen VC++ code, but there is C code..

google: gameboy camera robot vision

apendragon is one guy that posted code I think..

also MRM page?

interfacing to the camera is simple. Protocol is well documented.

needs an external ADC,

low resolution (120X120 I think)

perfect for robot vision. b/w or greyscale if I recall correctly

Thanks for the info. What is the "MRM" page ?
