You should see if you could fit a raspberry pi in wall-e, so it could act by its self! You wouldn`t have to link it to your computer then, but you could make it able to act on its self and you could control it!
the 9 inch Disney Pixar toy is so expensive and i couldn’t afford it…
this is actually a 8 inch remote controlled Wall-E toy… It’s a little smaller than the 9inch one, but still gives me enough space to place the battery and Arduino board. (i can’t remember what it’s called now, sorry)
8 inch or 9 inch, It doesn’t really matter as long as the price is accpetable…
As you mentioned 9-inches version is expensive. I wish you could remember the product name. It is hard to find a remote controlled Wall-E body frame with appropriate size online. If you by chance managed to find out the product name, please let me know.
Sorry buddy, I just searched through my email for ebay invoice, and realized it’s actually also called Disney Pixar… Since they have the same name, the only way to tell which is 9’ and which is 8’, you need to look at the picture advertised.
9’ has this remote controll
and 8' has this remote controll (which I bought)
I would recommend buying the bigger version of frame (9 inch one) if price is not a problem for you, because it's easy to modify and fit the arduino board.
I was just messin with ya, I was just messin with ya, you have some of the same parts as their kits, but I knew it was different somewhat. Plus I can’t code very well… yet lol
You might consider using PID control for tracking, I found it to be very complimentary to OpenCV input - it’s also nice in that PID allows easy extensibility to control other actuators besides servos… that is if you ever decided to re-use the code with a motor driven pan / tilt kit.
