<div dir="ltr"><div><div>It is too longwinded to explain so I'll just show you a video link[1].<br><br></div>I've built a series of these units (and others) to chain together[2] over the last couple weeks. I'm also able to control each unit using IR[3], so it is fun for you to a mention an IR controllable camera that costs next to nil. I could generate 4 of the light videos simultaneously and send the video feed of each to various televisions or projectors, but it is a matter of getting the video hardware together.<br>
<br>I'd love to add wireless connectivity to this, but first I have other
obstacles to tackle: build a breakout box for voltage control, built a
breakout box for controlling the drones with light ala a theremin, 3D
print an external led sculpture using an Arduino that I can control with the synths. My current plan is to see how the Pi handles the camera and possibly a servo, etc.<br><br>[1]<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V4F9szooI8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V4F9szooI8</a><br>

they are super cool, and so small that i can't find mine right now.<br>
<br>
they have only a small amount of FLASH onboard for bootup, but if you need more you can use a USB stick as a boot drive :)<br>
<br>
only 32mb RAM but you can upgrade to 64mb if you can solder surfacemount with hotair :)<br>
<br>
and they have GPIO pins like any good microcontroller, and a TTL serial port that can talk directly to a regular microcontroller (which has burlier, 5v GPIO pins for driving your robot)<br>
<br>
openWRT is a really neat project, and it even has its own package manager that is super cool.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

James i recommend running openWRT (foss linux for wireless routers and<br>
similar) on a WR703N which is a $22 wifi router with an ethernet port.<br>
<br>
plug a usb webcam into the usb port and you're on! you can internet with<br>
the wifi or the ethernet port.<br>
<br>
it runs off of a microusb jack, so you can power it with a standard phone<br>
charger or portable battery pack thing.<br>
<br>
what is this for?<br>
