long answer is usb cameras have a pile of overhead with drivers and protocols and such. That’s waaaaaaay too much for a little micro to do.
Generally a robot would have an onboard computer and therefore have a usb camera connected directly.
there is the esp32 camera and it’s wifi. It’s okay.
I didn’t think it would work. My PC tablet is too slow to have the T265, lidar and 2 USB camera plus 2 megas. Trying to use them all I get a USB controller error and then my T265 stops working.
I really want to get a RockPi X I believe it would handle all USB ports. But they are over 170.00 too much for my budget right now.
The esp32 camera is only $8.00 so I’ll go with them for now.
Thanks again, you always have the answers!
Cheers
I ordered 2 of them and will let you know how the work.
