I was wondering, has anyone written java library for BrickPi? I’ve been working on my racing robots and find that python is way toooooo slow for real-time image processing. 7 seconds for 1 640x480 image isn’t gonna be fast enough for a robot to drive autonomously.
I could use C++, but I suck at it, so it would be nice to have a java library.
thanks

Peter,
You can find a list of all of the programming languages for the BrickPi here: http://www.dexterindustries.com/BrickPi/program-it/
Java is included!
thanks! I was looking in the wrong place on github. That makes life easier and saves me the trouble of messing with Visual Studio C++.

Great! We would love to hear from you about it and your project. And if you’re an expert in Java and can improve the library, do!
I haven’t used the BrickPiJava yet, but I did get OpenCV working with Java. The details on this blog entry. Electrons Free: OpenCV and Java on Raspberry Pi 2 B
I did some comparison of OpenCV and AWT. The results are here.
I checked the install script into my github, but I still need to write some examples for the project and a step-by-step tutorial that others can easily follow.
Very cool, I will check it out. Is it done and should we update our blog post on it?
I’m writing a new tutorial specifically for OpenCV with Java. I checked in a few things into my github BrickPiJava repo. Once I get that sorted out, I plan to write a tutorial on using OpenCV + Java + BrickPi
I finally finished the tutorial for OpenCV with Java. for those interested, you can find it here.
Sweet!
Hi,
@woolfel,
Recently, I have released a new version of this project:
http://ev3dev-lang-java.github.io/#/
The project has support for BrickPi+. In the next iteration, I will try to add the support for BrickPi3.
Cheers
Juan Antonio
I’m gonna try it this week. Finally getting back to my robotics project with the new Pi 3 B+.
what can you do with opencv and Java, and how simple is it, e.g.
