Pcduino Operating System
Armbian for Pcduino 3.4 linux kernel for the A20 Allwinner ARM processor with Mali GPU drivers.
With the Armbian operating system I was able to activate accelerated Opengl Graphics. I installed the x11vnc server which uses the X11 server to send Opengl accelerated Graphics. Using turboVnc as the client. I also installed ARToolkit5 from Github for the ARM processor.
ARToolkit Spatial Calculation
Using the ARToolkit with two cameras to calculate the position of the Rover relative to two ARMarkers.
Each ARMarker produces a Matrix from which the distance can be calculated. With two distances and the location of the markers known the Intersection of two circles is calculated from the equation obtained from StackExchange:
The equation is a simultaneous equation with two answers.
From this the x and z position was calculated. Z being into the screen and x left of the screen. Y up was omitted.
