live JPEG color capture now working ...
All of the core functions required by the SRV-1 have been tested and seem to be running properly on the BF537. We now need to lay out a modified version of the SRV-1 controller that interfaces the BF537 in place of the ARM7 to the motor controls, radio (Zigbee or WLAN) and other sensors, and then we need to complete the port of the complete set of SRV_protocol functions. However, there have thus far been no "show stoppers", so we have moved forward with a production run of BF537 boards and cameras.
Our best guess is that the new version of the SRV-1 will be available in early October. We haven't finalized pricing, but there will likely only be a slight price increase for the Zigbee version of the SRV-1, and the WLAN version with Lantronix Matchport should cost the same or slightly less than the current SRV-1 + WiPort expansion module. As mentioned before, we likewise don't yet know the cost for upgrade from ARM7 to BF537 for existing users, but we hope to make that very affordable.
