I am now a senior year (electrical) engineering student at BCIT. Most of my time this year is being consumed by an industry-sponsored capstone project. Hence, when it came time to choose a project for ELEX 7820: Real-Time Embedded Systems, I was very aware of my own bandwidth.

If you have been following my posts, you would know I am an Electrical Engineering student at BCIT. In my last post, I talked about my course ELEX 4618 (Object Oriented Program Design), and some of the weekly labs I worked on. One of those labs (#8) required us to make a colored ball sorter. It had to be programmed in C++ to run on a Raspberry Pi that uses PiCam and OpenCV to detect colors and the pigpio library to enable us to use the Pi GPIO pins to interact with other hardware. In Lab #9, we added functionality so this device can be controlled and sends a video stream over the network.
