What you might want on your computer
- OpenCV (installing this can be a bit challenging, ask staff if you need help)
- pyusb (gives usb-core, which is used to repeatably identify the Arduino in the Arduino interface code)
- If you want to modify the code loaded on the Arduino (for gyro, accelerometer integration, for instance) the Arduino IDE is at http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/software (the eeePCs are using IDE 1.0)
Library Documentation
- Vision
- OpenCV (http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/) - An open source library for computer vision. Available for a number of languages.
- SimpleCV (http://simplecv.org/) - A high-level wrapper around OpenCV for Python. This could be useful if doing simple image processing. One particularly interesting example is detection of a yellow car: http://simplecv.org/learn/examples/parking.html.
- State Machines (it's reasonable to write your own state machine code)
- Fysom (https://github.com/oxplot/fysom) - A slick FSM implementation that provides function callbacks for each state. (NOTE: Hasn't been looked over, since Github is down at the time of this writing)
- Skip Montanero's FSM (http://www.smontanaro.net/python/fsm.py) - A simple FSM implementation.
- Python-Course (http://www.python-course.eu/finite_state_machine.php) - FSM tutorial, including code for a general FSM implementation
- Arduino
- pySerial (http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/) - If you want to roll your own Arduino communication library, you can simply use pySerial to read/write data from the serial connection. You can find an example on the Arduino site: http://playground.arduino.cc/Interfacing/Python.
