With a camera, yes it is too much for the BAP
Everything talked about short of actually processing raw video signals is doable by a BAP. BasicAtom may be a little stretched but it coul dprobably do it too. Video would need to be converted to a digital signal(preferable an 8bit data stream, mono chrome with 256 shades or color with approx 6 shades of R,G and B). In any case handling video would be best done with a seperate processor(H8,SX or some thingelse doesn’t really matter). Lower the resolution also the easier it would be to process. Most hobby robots us an actual PC to handle video processing though.
Its been two months, so lets see some pix of the project. Must be almost complete by now.
