Nearly Robot Tracking at the Hardware Meetup

Turns out we don’t need a gantry. Which is nice. Brian brought his tripod, mounted a Pi camera on it and within minutes he was tracking robots in the entire arena. Well, not actually robots. More like bits of paper with Aruco codes on them. At the next meetup we’ll have the codes attached to robots moving around, and hopefully receiving position information.

We had other stuff too including DSP (Digital Signal Processing - I knew that one) hardware, a very impressive retro touch sensitive keyboard from Ross and lots of excellent chat.

The next meetup is in two weeks on the 14th of July. I’m rather looking forward to it.
