Some details on the AllwaysInnovating MeCam

Earlier this year there was some discussion of the AllwaysInnovating Mecam.  Here's some more details, which make the unit very interesting.

The MeCam is based on the Always Innovating Cortex-A9 SoC Module which can run from 1.0GHz to 1.5GHz depending on the configuration. It's the world smallest module available on the market that offers GHz Arm-based CPU, 1GB RAM, SD card, 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. 

It's amazing to see the compute power getting ever cheaper and ever smaller!

  • Why would one need a barometer on  a cam? I doubt that it is what is on this board. No doubt an interesting concept, but implementation by means of paying for a license is a joke specially contrasted with the open source.

    Could be an interesting idea for those interested in development of embedded vision systems.

  • A likely MPU9150 & MS5611 barometer are visible.  There are no motor MOSFETs or anything which would give it horizontal velocity damping or precise altitude.  Still don't get the idea of requiring everyone to pay a license fee for implementing a self portrait copter without actually making it work, then throwing in the words open source.
