Hi Justin Anderson, we can now discuss this topic. I’ve replaced the sensor with a camera that costs around €50. The camera’s software is installed on the PC, and the camera sends the image via IP. We process this image within certain proportions or scales, and the result is what you see in these videos.
Note that no external libraries are used; only the colors of the pixels received in the image are measured. In other words, it’s NOT computer vision; it’s image processing, which I believe is more than sufficient in this case.
Furthermore, since no specific use has been presented for this case, I’ll invent one myself, and it will be very interesting.
Also, this can be done in many other ways, but we’re here to program for the sake of programming.
And one more thing: everything you see is possible thanks to FactoryIO. Otherwise, Justin Anderson could present his idea, but it couldn’t be developed, and therefore, we wouldn’t be able to learn about this topic.
Regards
