6 DOF robotic arm 12 volt gear motor driven tracked chassis with 10 pound capactiy 12 volt 6 amp hour battery
Im going to use a DROK step down to lower the voltage where i like it for the servo's, and use an H bridge getting 12 volts to run the motors for the chassis.
Is there a way to interface this camerai bought for my Rpi3 so it will work in ARC ? Its a waveshare http://www.amazon.com/Waveshare-Raspberry-Camera-Vision-Raspberry-pi/dp/B00N9YWLHE?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages02
Pics below:
Can you show me an example of a windows 10 computer similarly sized to the Rpi3?

I have the VoYo and it is lightning fast and works well, but seems to have a power management issue. Sometimes it won't charge when powered on, and sometimes it overheats and shuts down, but I can't seem to determine what triggers the undesired behavior.
The Voyo is about the size of 2 RPIs sitting side by side.

You'll know pretty quickly if it works or not. If the EZ-B seems to lose network connection or restart, you know you are drawing more amps than the converter can handle. Can also exhibit "jerky" motion on the servos if it is close but not quite enough.

nice setup!
The arm does not comes with a Gripper right ? I see a Gripper picture, is compatible with the Arm ?
Regarding the RPI Camera: you can't use it with EZB.
The EZB's camera interface is Serial, and the RPI camera interface is CSI.
If you want to use you will need to add the RPI, and then you can run linux with a web cam server.
RPI Camera:
you mention before windows 10 iot, windows 10 iot does not support the RPI CSI camera, also is a "baremetal" operating system, you don't have multiple programs running.
With linux you can setup a web cam server basically turning into a IP camera, and then you can use it with ARC.
I don't think that camera will work with ARC. It certainly would not interface with the camera port on the EZ-Bv4. The ARC can also work with PC cameras USB or wi-fi based that are linked to your Windows PC running ARC.
yep, that's why i mention the rpi linux mambo jambo
if you have an ip camera you will have more chances, and then you can use it with ARC.
