Since I'm considering doing a photogrammetry rig which will have a hundred plus units.

Is there a limit on the number of arduino I can connect to the program? Do you see an issues with this many arduino receiving the same signal all at the same time? I'm find with there being variation up to 2 or 3 seconds but ideally I'd want this variation to be less than a second?

Since the ideal situation is less than a second difference between all of them, is there a prefered method of communication? (i.e. Serial vs ethernet)

Does anyone else see any major issues I might run into?

Thanks in advance,
~John

Hi John, this doesn't sound very practical with MegunoLink. You would need to create and match up 100 or so COM ports. I'm not even sure windows would handle that very well.

Maybe you can provide more detail on what you want to do and we could suggest an alternative approach?

Cheers
Phil
