Hi, all
Since I haven't been available for a few days, I'm just getting back in touch and thought I'd mention what I've been up to as some of you might be interested. Part of the delay is that I've taken over responsibility for robot programming at Heartland and I needed a reboot to work with Karel, it's like Pascal with predefined motion. I haven't touched Pascal for a few (ok, many) years, but, I did like it then. I like Karel less, but the tools have a lot to do with that. Anyway, on the same project, I am integrating pervasive Machine Vision to an automation cell we are building. The machine vision is based on the Video4Linux drivers and API and after some hacking, works rather well. We had the discussion and I can't release the actual application, however I can provide some pointers to hardware and software that works if anyone is interested. We are using it for measurement and pattern detection. I don't mind too much that I can't release the source, because Heartland is providing
some support for the Linux PLC and Westling has let me convert their entire IS operation to Linux. The integration experience will also apply to the LPLC over time.
I now have enough time to procure and look at the Optilogic Ethernet I/O. I'll probably get buried again soon after.
Hey, Hugh,
What the heck is "V"?
