Wireless camera?

Postby Gnurl » Mon Oct 19, 2009 10:38 pm

I just got a Mindstorm 2.0, and I am quite excited about it. Is there a wireless camara, (wireless USB or Bluetooth) that would be small enough you could put it on top of one of the tread robots?

I see a number of "wireless" cameras, but none are battery powered. I could possibly cobble something together at Radio Shack but I'd prefer to just buy the thing.

At this time, I don't really need it to interface with the Mindstorm, but if there are such that can piggyback on the brick's Bluetooth, that would be even better.

Mindsensors does have a camera sub system that you can reprogram for the NXT. That way the camera can do the vision processing for you and you dont need the wireless camera. However, you could probably find a USB mini camera and 9V battery pack online. Given you will need computer software (that you write) to interface with the camera, the comptuer, and then the software controlling the NXT. It has been done, but that is a lot of work.

I recentrly purchased

It has exacting LEGO dimensions as well.
I am wiring up PF circuitry to power and control it.
It works very well.
