multiple webcams for still pictures - Raspberry Pi Forums
so i've got 3d imaging project i'm working on, , i've got couple competing ideas how proceed. need take lots of still images of same object many angles simultaneously. of discussions i've seen multiple cameras video, need still images.
occurred me first use cloud of pi a+ boards each 1 pi camera module, networked via wi-fi central machine. on command, each takes 1 picture, , in turn transfers them central machine. i've got written, , i'm confident that'll work. problem is, every lens, that's computer, sd card , wi-fi dongle. costs add quick.
other idea use b+ boards , 2 4 usb cameras each, linked via ethernet or wi-fi. if can find camera around $35 or less, hardware gets lot cheaper. make wiring , networking bit easier, too. raises lot of questions though. can pi power 4 webcams @ time? have enough usb bandwidth take 4 simultaneous images? there usb camera comparable pi camera works in linux similar price?
