Video Server using Multicast is finally working

Multicast test

Finally, the Video Server is working using Multicast UDP protocol. There is no more limit to the number of clients that can connect to server, each client must only start binding to the correct port and can start to receive the frames asyncronously. I tested the code of the SDK…

Power Distribution board sent to PCB Service

New Power Distribution & Filtering

On the wave of the success of the funding campaign on TakeOff Crowdfunding, MyzharBot is now waiting for its new board: the Power Distribution v1.0. The Power Distribution board joins the two prototypes visibile on the rear of MyzharBot into one single board providing both protection to power inversion and…

SDK modification in progress…

Github

Before of moving the servers of the robot on the NVidia Jetson TK1 I decided that it is the time to modify the Network Architecture of the HLU. The main modification is on Camera Server and Status Server… until now they were polling servers and each client should be connected directly…

New photo gallery: NVidia Jetson TK1 mounted and powered

Protection for NVidia Jetson TK1

A new photo gallery is available: the NVidia Jetson TK1 is now mounted on the upper horizontal base and powered by the 12V generated by the programmable DC-DC converter. Now it’s time to port the software on the new board and to start to create Computer Vision algorithms!!!

New rendering: MyzharBot with NVidia Jetson TK1 and protection

MyzharBot & NVidia Jetson TK1

A new rendering is available: MyzharBot is now at version 3.1.1. The new brain, NVidia Jetson TK1, fits perfectly on the electronics base and a transparent protection has been designed. Now its time to cut the protection with the laser machine and to mount the new brain onboard.

MyzharBot now has full CUDA power: NVidia Jetson TK1 is here

NVidia Jetson TK1

Computer Vision needs full computational power to run real time algorithms for robotics application… now MyzharBot has got it: NVidia Jetson TK1 has arrived. The new brain is powered by a Tegra K1 SOC (4-Plus-1 quad-core ARM Cortex A15 CPU at 2.3 Ghz + Kepler GPU with 192 CUDA cores) the most…

The sonar module for MyzharBot has a name: RoboDiscovery-F4

Finally the sonar module PCB is ready to be sent to service to be CREATED. Me and Mauro Soligo have chosen a name for it: RoboDiscovery-F4. We also decided to dedicate a website also to this project: www.robodiscovery.com is coming. Features: 2 strips to fit STm32F4-Discovery board Zigbee ready 16x muxed…

Sonar Module… the PCB is almost ready

Sonar-PCB Working on...

With Mauro Soligo from katodo.com we are creating a support card for STM32F4-Discovery to handle up to 16 modules sonar (HC-SR04) for robotics applications. MyzharBot will use only 4 sonar sensors, but larger robots will be able to leverage the power of the new board. As usual the board is…
