- Our Guest this week is Kwabena Agyeman who runs OpenMV (Figure 1).
- The OpenMV project is about creating low-cost, extensible, Python-powered, machine vision modules and aims at becoming the “Arduino of Machine Vision” (Figure 2).
- Parker is using an OpenMV camera for the first iteration of the Semi-Automatic Inspection Machine.
- The great thing about Open Source is that you can fix bugs.
- OpenMV started as a Kickstarter.
- The original OV2640 Omni Vision camera sensor was discontinued and gray market parts where found but didn’t work. Replaced with the OV7725.
- KeySniffer sniffs cheap wireless keyboard protocols. We should take a page from BSG and go all wired to prevent Cylon infiltration.
- Facebook has a new Area 404 Hardware division. Could see some interesting hardware come out of this? Possibly similar to Bell Labs of ole?
Hosts: Parker Dillmann, Stephen Kraig
