Re: Need windows app. for follow up to centipede article
The format isn't set in stone. My needs are for a 6 bit color depth, but a general purpose tool would be cool. <p>I am open to suggestions.<p>Since it is serial, it should be somewhat robust, but something as simple as sending a 0 as a synch byte, and never allowing 0 in the data would be sufficient...

Re: stable clock timer..for a different LED clock
if memory serves me correctly, the utilities adjust the 60 cycles to keep a proper number of counts throughout the day.<p>Mike

Re: Need windows app. for follow up to centipede article
No language of choice. I built a utility in LabView, but the runtime install is 14 megs....<p>byte order is simple raster format. stream bytes in until a row is filled. Stream in bytes until you have a picture.<p>This is dirt simple, and of course vulnerable to errors, but it is just meant to be a s...

Re: Cheap vision solution?
Actually,<p>16x16 pixels at 6 bits can do some amazing things. In our club, we are using neural networks to detect lines for better line following. The sharpness register is useful for determining distance with appropriate hardware to focus the lens. <p>I plan on using laser line generators for simp...

Need windows app. for follow up to centipede article
Hi all,<p>In a follow up to my robotic centipede article, I am covering simple machine vision. I need someone to write a windows utility to take in a predetermined number of bytes from the serial port, and display them on screen as a greyscale image. Additional features like magnification, adjustabl...
