Hi All,
I build my hexapod… and i build a head for controll with a camera.
i want one like this.

youtube.com/watch?v=c6ygMksF … re=related
or like matt’s IC hexapod.
i know roborealm and i have a atom28pro.
Zenta i see u in the forum from matt.
how it is possible give the ssc32 over atom input xyz translation. for move body an head.
its so easyier with the p.brain?
have some one a code like this?
or other ideas?
Hi,
This is a very interesting topic. I’ve barely looked at roborealm, but it looks very interesting. But do roborealm have a facetracking module/filter?
I believe Xan used a BlueSmirf together with his code for the Blackwidow (Phoenix copy). Maybe using serial commands from roborealm for controlling Phoenix would be possible. What do you think Xan?
It should be possible to send XYZ values for controlling the body, some modification to the code would be necessary.
I don’t know much about the P.Brain.
I bought a wireless camera (2,4 GHz) but I got to much interference. So I’ll need another solution, maybe IP camera?
Anyway, at some point we do need to try this out. At this moment I’m over my head with other projects.
Another idea is to only use the SSC32 and using a VB program (based on Xan’s code, see another thread about that) together with roboreal.
Hi,
I’ve been thinking and even shortly working on this some time ago. My idea was to send the captured vid wireless from the bot to the PC. Then find the position of the object you want to trace. And send the position back in XYZ using Bluetooth or Xbee.
Other projects stopped me from working on this.
It’s easy to put a additional 2DOF for the head in my code that supports the head. Move the parent from the body to the head. You want to let the head follow the position of the object, not the body 
There are multiple ways to do the tracking part. Roborealm got a part that can take care of that. I personally tried openCV. This is a C++ open source library but you will need some knowledge of C++ for that. Here’s the site where I’ve got it. opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/
I’m in the middle of some other projects right now but i’m definatly gone try this one day. 8)
