Brick Scanner Project

[DarkestShadowsX]

I want to make a script like in this video that "Scans Bricks" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lZ9rSZwDzE

I would use a raspberry pi 3, and a "pi cam" I have adequate experience with programming and logic concepts, but minimal experience with python itself. I have enough bricks to build anything needed. I have looked at OpenCV, but that looks really complicated.

Questions: How can I start to program using the pi camera? Can I use OpenCV? Is this project to hard for a noob like me?

Thanks for any help!

OpenCv is one choice, but there are others.
You can look here and examine the options: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=s...mit=search

You will also need to consider motor control and more.

This looks like an extensive library! I looked at ftdetect 1.0.0.
Maybe I could use angle detection and corner detection to identify pieces!

Right now I am just trying to make the program, but if this works I will have to use some sort of communication to the nxt brick.
