flying through a forest,
flying through an unknown shaped/location static/dynamic gap,
accurate 3D pose detection of an independently moving object

Let your robot see!

This nifty #MacFeeglePrime robot can see this world in stereo! Keegan Neave, the robot author, now enjoying with the remote driving in VR, and also using onboard ROS to help MacFeegle Prime to avoid obstacles. Next plans are adding ROS to Unity (did you know it’s possible?) and run the real mixed reality VR robot with autonomous features using Oculus Quest!

And what is your plan for your robot? 

StereoPi v2 key features:

Friendly Powering Method

Hello, camera hackers!

For advanced users, we put all I2C camera lines on the board with 0 resistors gaps. This means you can use all the I2C you need for your special sensors. By physically connecting them to the appropriate GPIOs, you have hidden “dev board” features on the StereoPi V2. In addition to I2C, we pulled some other lines too.

Say “hi” to the new Compute Module 4!

More power!
With the new SoC module from Broadcom, you have up to twice the speed in your OpenCV Computer Vision and DNN applications! And the fast DDR4 memory will add more speed to your memory-intensive applications (e.g. video capture and processing)

WiFi onboard!
Fast two-band Wi-Fi! No more USB dongle – you have a tested solution with brilliant drivers. Hey, drone makers! Did you know you can use an external antenna now? This is a big deal for your long-range FPV solutions (like WiFibroadcast, OpenHD, etc.)! Ah, and maybe WiFi boosters… You know what we mean, right? 

Advanced wireless management
Using the new CM4 wireless management features, you can physically power down your WiFi or Bluetooth through the software! Thanks to multifunctional GPIOs, introduced with the CM4, you can both power on/ off onboard wireless devices, and indicate their status by LED.

Gigabit Ethernet!
Thanks to the dedicated 1Gbit ethernet on the new Compute Module 4, there is no more compromise between the USB speed and Ethernet bandwidth!

BLUETOOTH 5.0, BLE!
All your project ideas for Bluetooth remote control can come true!

Extremely fast eMMC!
If you plan to use the StereoPi in industrial solutions, you can choose the eMMC equipped Compute Module
