My robot is going smoothly, for all the hundreds of people supporting me in this problem, I thank you. A new problem has arrived, My robot utilizes the good old CMUcam! as it's primary sensor, to see a black object in front of it, and, by using the tracking software, store the object on a virtual map, which I present to the Synopsis judges. Here is it's picture:

and the top view:

the H bridge from rogue robotics.com(horrible coustomer support! Don't go there!)

and me:

SO, my robot seems to the average person to be pretty sweet, but! I don't know how to interface the camera with the Basic Stamp 2
any ideas?
all help is welcome
Thank you yeah.gif

    Yeah, it was like 12:00 when I posted that, so my grammar's a little messy. SORRY!

    Sounds like you have an incomplete project, so I suggest that you post your question in an appropriate forum.

    It's not clear whether your camera _is_ doing what you describe, or that you are describing what it is _supposed_ to be doing but isn't doing. So, it's not clear what interfacing with the BS2 info you need.

    Ok! problem sovled!
    DON'T ever go to roguerobotics, their coustomer support is terrible!
    I used a 6V battery to power the bs2 board, yet theirwas hardly any documentation on the H-bridge
    I hooked up VL andVM to VCC!
    thank you!

    It makes it easier for others to find material. Our forums receive so many posts per day that many people have time to only keep track of a few of them, so topics should go where people expect them to be. That way questions get answered more quickly and information gets into interested people's hands faster.

    In your case you posted to "Completed Projects", the phrase "A new problem" in your text is a red flag that it's not complete, and it would be quite easy for someone to not see your·question·in there because of where it's located.

    In regards to your question, type CMUcam into http://search.parallax.com and see what other posts exist on the subject, chances are there will be quite a bit of info already·posted on the subject.
