Making a robot that can see. Arduino + Raspberry Pi

See how even in this video there are false recognition of a ball where they were dropped close to the dropping point.
I don't call that open source if you need ORCAD to look at the schematic.

Grumpy_Mike:
Yes you can use openCV on any platform. That Pi looks right it is the Pi 3 just launched last week.

Very well... Its play time!

Grumpy_Mike:
While the plan looks good it is going to be a lot more complex to implement than you think at the moment.

Well I agree now with you bro... After experimenting a while with OpenCV and Pyhton/C++ I can now detect colours, objects and lights, now all I need to figure out is how to send commands to the Arduino based on whether the RPi is detecting the object or not.

You send data to the Arduino using the serial port. So you will need the python serial drivers. Just send the data when you need. The Arduino should be plugged into the Pi's USB socket.
Your Python code in openCV will decide if it can see anything and if it can it should send the information to the Arduino.

Working on it. I'm getting closer!
