I want to make my working internet Rover https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rocksetta/rover-the-shopping-drone follow, as if it were a dog, “something” like a cell phone, but I need few more ideas for the best method. I could over the cloud log the GPS of the cell phone and then compare my Rovers…

Wow. That was fast. Great idea. Will look into that.

PS. I Google search for hours every day :> With a bit of research https://www.pololu.com/product/702 seems a bit finicky for the Spark Core You have to constantly rotate the sensor, with a servo, back and forth to get a digital reading that translates to a direction without giving any distance to…

I think I have found the answer, PIXY https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/254449872/pixy-cmucam5-a-fast-easy-to-use-vision-sensor/description Vision color detection board from Carnegie Mellon. It can give a voltage output for the left-right location of an object, but better than that if you use I…

How about going all out… like the video below :slight_smile: well maybe that one is a bit much… but you get the idea! maybe a XV-11 hack is in order, or maybe a newer cheaper pulsed led version here

@rocksetta , I’ve had a Pixy for a while waiting for my attention. I’ll port the Arduino library for it, which uses I2C, and post it for you :smile:

Any luck porting the library yet, I just ordered my Pixy: [image] Pixy CMUcam5 Image Sensor Fast, easy-to-use vision sensor with a powerful processor Processor: NXP LPC4330, 204 MHz, dual core Image sensor: Omnivision OV9715, 1/4", 1280x800 Lens field-of-view: 75 degrees horizontal, 47 d…

@rocksetta , I’ll be looking at it this weekend :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I think the library works out of the box on the core… using SPI. I will be trying mine out on Tuesday night when i get home :slight_smile: [image] Spark + Pixy - Using the Pixy with a Spark Core #Spark + Pixy Introduction Hi everyone! I wanted to take a few minutes to make a post abo…

@Hootie81 , very little needs to be done. I will be testing with I2C so let me know how it goes. :smiley:

@Hootie81 . Really nice work. I was waiting for info about I2C, but I think you have covered most of what is needed for SPI. Thank you.
