Ez Robot Cam

Is it possible to connect the cam to a arduino UNO with the ICSP Port? I can't find any datasheet fr the cam :-(

No.... it's proprietary, for the ezb4 only.... Even if you could, why would you want to when the ezb4 out performs the arduino in every way?

The big problem is, that I can't create a "stand-alone" robot. The EZ-Software needs to run on a Laptop :-/

The Arduino has a memory where I can save my sketches and I need not a laptop with any software ;-)

But it can't run a camera or do 99% of what an EZ-B controlled by a computer ca do. There are lots if inexpensive options for embedding small computers running ARC on your robot.

Sven, the arduino has not enough processing speed or memory to process video or anything that your computer, raspberry pi or mobile device can do.

If you wish to make a robot with a distance sensor from 1995, use an arduino. If you want to make a robot that has science fiction inspired features, talks, walks, recognizes objects, etc. then use ezrobot.

Have you looked at uwp universalbot in our software section? It's easier than writing a "sketch" on arduino and it runs on raspberry pi. Windows 10 core is free:)

Guess the question is, what do you want from your robot? Do you believe Honda asimo or any of that darpa robots, or even the Mars rover are running an arduino?

@Sven The problem is... the arduino can't really do much other than follow a black line or for basic obstacle avoidance.... It's a micro controller not a robot controller...I have used an arduino so I know what it can do and what it can't do... If you want a stand alone robot then that's all your going to get. Dude, no one will be impressed... LOL.... Don't lower "the bar"... The ezb4 can blow the arduino out of the water and impress your family and friends.... I am not sure why you are limiting yourself just for the sake of what you call a "stand alone" robot... :)

Thank you for your help @all ;-)

I think, I will try to build it with EZ-B and backpack a Raspi PI (and use UniversalBot UWP)
