A simple application using the Galileo, the list of items needed are
- 2 x Servos
- Galileo Board( might run on the Edison, haven't tested)
- Web Camera (preferably High Definition)
- Laptop with Python and OpenCV installed.
I am not going to cover the installation of Python and OpenCV, the versions used by me are OpenCV 3.0.0 and Python 2.7.8. I do have a tutorial on setting up OpenCV 3.0.0 for Visual Studio 2013 here. I planned to write it in C++ originally but switched to Python.
