Raspberry Pi and Camera Module

20140512-173924.jpg

This weekend I have been working on the Raspberry Pi and Camera Module. The Camera board is similar to the one in the post:

It had no problem until I started testing video, and which gave me error something like “Enable to set SEI”, and could not record anything. However, after spent small amount of time researching, I found that it was the problem of powering issue if just connecting the USB cable to the computer. If you ever got into some error message like me when recording video, it would be the problem of the power and try to plug into other power source.

Another thing I wanted to do is time elapsed video by combining a sequence of image. I followed the instruction here (I wrote a python script to capture photo, only memcoder part from this tutorial ) and successfully combined 20 images into a video. Very short but experimental. 🙂

For more technical information or code, I will post on http://sunnycyk.com later. To be honest, right now I have not updated the other site for awhile because I am writing stuff for Arudino Robot Car and also busying working on other Node Project. So please come back and check later. 😛

My arduino robot car

20140506-174518.jpg

This is my Arduino Robot Car. Bought it for a month and finally got time to build it. I still need to put the Ultrasonic Sensor on it, but I already had 3 line tracking sensors installed and Motor shield with motors connected. Not sure if everything was right because when I bought it, it had no document at all.. So I had to guess how to put it together.

I have not programmed it yet, but I will put up some codes later at my programming site and explained how I make everything working together. As a beginner in Arduino like me, I think it should be easier to break each program into small pieces to test each component first. Please check my programming site out later 🙂
