Weekend Project #1




Pretty much, tie webcam to top of motor, run OpenCV to do a face tracker. Face tracker finds face and sends an error signal to Arduino, Arduino controls h-bridge, moving the motor.

The only H-bridge I have is an L298 in an annoying package, so I'll see if Fry's has one, or just make one from transistors. Or else, I do know Fry's has some cheap servos which wouldn't be a big deal either.

Computer side, haven't used OpenCV, but face tracking is one of the pretty common demos.
