BBoy went a wanderin'

Can you capture images into a VB program for processing with your setup?

Try looking at:

Tom

I have VB example code for capturing images for processing via webcams connected directly to the computer. The image in you VB program _has_ an image so I assumed you could display the images in your program as you received them? Do you just view them on a separate monitor or programs? I notice also they have a lot of compression noise.

I guess you are asking if I get live video? The answer is yes. Both live video and radar plots come in wirelessly(?) from BBoy into that proggie you see on the movie. The example video taken from my upstairs computer while BBoy was wandering downstairs. In real life the images are as good as a cheapy X-10 cam can do. I heavilly compressed the movie to make for faster download for all of us still stuck with dial-up connections.

Tom

I haven't seen the movie. My connection is too slow for that.

If your proggie is displaying the video you can add functions to get your robot to use vision to do things like read signs, or follow a path to find its way around. You would turn off any compression though to make the processing easier.

Your web pages don't seem to work with mozilla.

Any chance of posting or emailing me details on the video and wireless setups.

Is the video solution your using windows only ?

Thanks

Alex

which one ?

dam I was hoping for something crossplatform or at minimum linux.

Thanks.

This was a set I "borrowed" from my CYE robot from personal robotics The receiver is model VR31A for use with XC10-a the camear is a wired X-10 camera

sorry about no linux... someday maybe Tom
