​OPENMV CAMERA-Object TRACKER

Lesson Objectives:

1. Students will explore the concepts of image processing and face tracking 
2. Students will gain experience using an OpenMV camera and servo motor

Materials: 

• An OpenMV camera (M7)
• A MicroUSB camera cord
• A Servo Motor
• Tape
• Paper/Cardboard/Wood (to make the arrow, if you use wood also screws to attach it to the servo, for paper/cardboard glue is probably best)
• Wires​
• (Optional) Arduino and power cord

​

Getting Started! 

1. Follow the links for hardware and software setup: http://docs.openmv.io/openmvcam/tutorial/software_setup.html          http://docs.openmv.io/openmvcam/tutorial/hardware_setup.html
2. To attach the servo motor to the camera connect:  

                         Servo Yellow to OpenMV P7
                         Servo Red to OpenMV 3.3V
                        Servo Black to OpenMV GND
     3.  Input the code below in the OpenMV IDE. 
     4.  Create a fun arrow! Set up the camera and servo as shown in the video. 
     5.  Have fun with your code! 

OpenMV IDE Code

How to Connect to Arduino:
​To attach an Arduino connect:

• Servo Yellow to Arduino Pin 9
• Servo Red to Arduino 3.3V
• Servo Black to Arduino GND
• OpenMV P4 to Arduino TX1
• OpenMV P5 to Arduino RX1
• OpenMV GND to Arduino GND
• OpenMV V+ to Arduino 5V
