Hello

Does anybody have any experience in adapting a small color video camera so that
it will either send messages to the RCX via the IR port or connect to the RCX's
sensor inputs ?

I realize that at the very least I am going to have to create some kind of
processor to interpret the video signal and then either output that to an IR
transmitter or sensor connector. I want to give my robots "sight" and was really
hoping that someone else had at least begun the process so I could learn from
them.

Vision Command is out because it requires the camera to be tethered to a pc. I
would like to create something that would be an all inclusive solution and be
able to mount this on my robot. I also don't own a pc.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Tim Goodwin

Tough, I think that in order to do this you would need to do some very complicated electronics and programming of a computer that could all be carried on the rcx and use little power. This would probably involve lots of expensive stuff. Although (...) (24 years ago, 11-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
