Hello,
I'm trying to come up with a strategy for communicating with an arduino over the network from oF. I'm hoping to send rgb values for around 400 pixels at around 40 fps. I'm thinking that ends up being around 1200 bytes per frame, so i'm looking at pushing 48000 byes per second. Is this feasible with an ethernet shield and an arduino (mega?, due?)
This is for a permanent installation. I had accomplished this previously by using an rPi + headless oF + wiringPi as the physical interface, but i keep encountering corrupted SD cards every few months. In general, it seems like a microcontroller would be more robust.
What type of architecture would people recommend here? Is it worth jumping into beaglebone black to get same speed as rPi, but avoid SD cards? Should I avoid ethernet/network in favor of usb > cat5 adaptor > usb?
