Hello
I found that lot of people discovered this new feature of the wr703n flashed under openwrt : It is able to stream an USB webcam (soon a Gopro using an easycap) and also to make a bridge between a serial interface (USB according to CDC driver or 3.3V TTL).
see : http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/hacking-a-rc-helicopter-for...
Here is the tutorial (3 parts + 1 part unbricking ;) ) on Openpilot Forum : http://forums.openpilot.org/blog/52-fertitos-blog/
So I started a TUTORIAL to help those that would like to add this feature on theyre drone and start developping new sensors :
I'ld like to work on a laser line avoidance system using the webcam :
If you have question... ;)
Comment by Adam Conway on June 14, 2012 at 7:28am This is very cool. I think the TP-Link uses the AR9331 SoC which is a pretty good little system. The company I work for sells a product based on that chip. The only thing you will run into with this is that it is a 1x1 802.11n chip which means that it will use more airtime to send data. One tip, keep the radio in 20MHz mode, the Tx Power will drop by 3 dB if you put it in 40MHz. Good luck to you on this and I look forward to seeing the results.
Comment by Lukas Holoubek on June 14, 2012 at 9:29am Excellent work. I wonder if OpenCV could be used to do some really cool stuff with such a setup: http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/FullOpenCVWiki.
Comment by Roman on June 14, 2012 at 11:04pm Hello,
I'm planing on using openCV to do some calculation (3D scaning, movements, ...).
when I'll have time... :D

You mention Easycap video for Wr703N. Did you manage to compile Easycap adapter driver? Is it possible to get it from you? Would like to include in
