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-wifi-router-control
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... ;)

Nice work!
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

Hello,
I'm planing on using openCV to do some calculation (3D scaning, movements, ...).
when I'll have time... :D
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.
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.
