OpenCV Colour Follower

June 2024

PART 1: This project was a precursor to my first robotic arm. It was a twin-axis camera follower that used OpenCV to follow objects around. It was pretty fun to get the Arduino, Raspberry Pi and servo driver to all work together. At this point I was improving really quickly. This project would have taken me double the time in 2023. Anyways, in this first part I sorted out the OpenCV component of the project. PART 2: In the second part I assembled an enclosure for all the components and integrated the CV sensing with the servo motor code.
