The NXTCAM is a vision system following the CMUCAM specifications. This vision system has a capacity of processing images in real time and to detect and track up to eight colored objects.
This CMUcam designed for Lego Mindstorms NXT connects to a sensor port on your Lego Mindstorms NXT intelligent brick, and can also connect to the PC through a USB interface. In addition, the lens includes a adjustable focus.
Once connected to the NXT intelligent brick, the NXTCAM is an autonomous system and does not require a PC connection. It is therefore ideal for autonomous programmed robots.
The NXTCAM can be used to track a colored ball or track a line (for color difference) and many other applications.
The technical specifications of the NXTCam V4 are as follows:
