I've been trying to stay focused on the first stage (glorified R\/C sailboat), but did let myself get a little sidetracked with some camera hardware...<\/p>\n

I found some very inexpensive cameras at Fry's Electronics that were perfect for this project. The Polaroid DVG-130 is a 1.3 megapixel camera and video recorder that writes to SD card that only cost me $18.05 each!
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

After much experimentation, I finally got both cameras wired up and able to be controlled via IO pins (so far, I've been testing using a TI Launchpad - another bargain at $4.30!) <\/p>\n

I've updated the Hardware<\/a> section with some pictures and a video demonstrating the automation of the camera controls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In other news, I'm finally back to focusing on getting the rudder servo installed. Once that has been done, I can create the lid\/deck which will seal the boat up. I expect the lid to take a little bit of time since it needs to be fairly precise to keep the water out (of course I will be taking advantage of lots of rubber weatherstripping and the like to keep the water out). <\/p>\n

That's it for now..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
