Stereo Camera Integration #24

Closed StephenCarlson closed 2 years ago

This is related to #21, #19, and #6, but merits a separate issue. For some future version of the design, an array of cameras could be integrated with Field-of-Views optimized to exclude airframe geometry from the image, and to provide multiple baselines for far- and and near-object detection, for forward or isotropic vision. An initial implementation of this could be a simple pair of forward-facing cameras mounted near the tip of each wing.

Adjacent to this, a lid was designed for the Khadas VIM3 and Raspberry Pi Model 3B+ Single-Board Computers.

The Solar wings now have this feature, with 30x40mm pockets located on the bottom of the wing behind the nacelles, with 240mm center-to-center spacing (same as nacelle spacing). The pockets are large enough to admit a 30x30mm USB board camera, and it is also able to fit the Benewake TFmini Plus with room to spare. Pushed at 81abe56c47fa66ecf6d3cfdf3e897b6ba21a7ef4 .
