In der Ferienwoche zwischen Prüfungen und Semester bin ich seit langem wieder einmal zum Basteln gekommen. Das Projekt: Ein kleines billiges RC Auto (funkgesteuert) per Computer steuern, das Alles der Einfachheit halber über den guten alten Parallelport.

Das Vorgehen ist recht einfach, und kann auf vielen anderen Seiten nachgelesen werden; die besten seien hier aufgeführt:

Introduction
The goal of the project was to code a pice of software, that would grab a picture of a pokercard from a digital videocamera and recognize the card to be able to play blackjack with the result. The project was part of the PPS program of our institute of technology and supervised by Sezeneky of the departement of Computer Vision. The 14 participating students were split up into four groups, each of them working and implementing the sourcecode for themselves. The groups would play "against" each other at the end of semester.
