Description
The POB-Eye II is the new camera of POB.
It brings significant new features and keeps compatibility with with the POB-Eye I.
The POB-Eye II is the brain of you robot. It is the part that we program.
It puts together the calculating power, the I/O management, the communication with your computer or with other robots, and the color vision.
Pattern recognition is very easy whatever the programming mode you choose.
A CD-Rom with examples and development tools, a USB cable for your PC are also provided.
Programmable with C, C++, Java, Basic and RISBEE, software are free.
Your POB-Eye I programs are compatible with the POB-Eye II.
You just have to setup some parameters (image size for example) and recompile.
The POB-Bus
POB-Technology made a similar BUS as the one on computers.
Thanks to its BUS (HE10 connector), the POB-Eye II can communicate faster with several slave parts than a serial protocol can do.
Data acquisiton from sensors is in real time.
In addition to the 0V and supply voltage, the I2C bus and the 15 input/output are on the HE10 connector.
It allows the user to connect extension boards to the POB-Eye II part.
This connector gives access to the I2C bus (which has already its pull up resistance).
In addition to the I/O, there is the +5V, the Ground and the POB-Eye II power supply.
The color image
To develop his own functions, the user can access the RGB, HSL and YUV componants from the CMOS sensor.
Access to the array of dots of the picture, you can program your own image treatment algorithm
Connectivity
The POB-Eye II is designed to interface easily to computer and other robots.
A place can welcome a Zigbee module.
Thanks to the serial port, you can use the Bluetooth and Wifi module that POB proposes.
Applications
The POB-Eye II equips all the robots of the POB-Bot II Line
For sure, the POB-Eye II can be fully autonomous and it can be used to build your own robots from scratch.
The full technical documentation gives you all the elements you need to build your robot.
The robotic kits POB-Pack 1 and POB-Pack 2 give additionnal boards : the screen POB-LCD and the I/O controller POB-Proto.
Software

|
RISBEE is the new graphical software of POB to program the POB-robots with no knowledge of a programming language.
Easy to handle, intuitive, fast and full, RISBEE is a very motivating tool for students.

The POB-Tools for C, C++
The full SDK for your robot to program with C and C++
Project management, compilors, tools to build your patterns libraries to recognize, the POB-Tools make your work easy with no makefiles or complicated things to do.
The POB-Tools is going to evolve and will be soon multi-plateforms, putting together all the programming languages in the same software. This news release V4 will be soon available.
