We are working on a ball following robot and basically it shall have the following components:
-
Image processing part-we have taken care of this with some matlab code.
-
Linking a camera wirelessly to a laptop-not yet figured out
-
Setting up a wired serial link between laptop and bot(read motors)- taken care of using a simple max 232 and at89s52 uC and hbridges(motor
control)
4)Setting up a wireless serial link between the laptop and the bot-basically we want the bot to be free of any wires i.e. no wires should go into the laptop from the bot.I figured out thru this site that i can use a virtual serial port of my bluetooth dongle, a Zippys( isscbta) dongle, and use its COM port no instead of COM1(of the serial port keping everything else same) and using a bluetooth receiver(??gess thats what its calld) on the other side and i wont have to understand nethin about bluetooth and have seamless flow of data serially.
I want to kno what this mystery bluetooth receiver should be and what wireless camera should be used?? Moreover any other suggestions are weclome!!
