wifi robot chassis v1

[geekionizado]

I want a wife to say how my projects look like :P

[pvieiradps]

@geekionizado Porque é que ultimamente só tenho comentários de brasileiros ? Será que está na hora de me mudar para o Brasil, onde há pessoal a brincar com as mesmas coisas do que eu ?

[geekionizado]

@pvieiradps robótica tá crescendo aqui. Você é brasileiro? Me aceita aí :) Tem twitter? Conheço uma galera que mexe também.

[pvieiradps]

@pvieiradps Estive a ver o teu site, os projectos são similares :-) Temos de falar, ando parado por falta de tempo e "conversa"

@pvieiradps Google Raspeberry Pi

How do you interface the router with the motor controller?

[pvieiradps]

@krisiluttinen Using an arduino

[pvieiradps]

@pvieiradps More info check this post on my old and obsolete webpage "pedrov.org/wordpress/?m=20090­3"

How you turn on router ?

Use battery of car ?

[pvieiradps]

@tonnytg I used a battery from an rc car, and used a dc conversor to get the 5 volts (i think it was 5v) for the router.

PAOV1976 pls what is the music namber? xd thanksss

[pvieiradps]

Budget, that was why, just simple money

[Veksta]

why not just use a wifi shield and wifi webcam? save a shitload of space and power!

[MrTpengineer]

I did something similare to a rc car that was 30$, but I installed a bigger motor with a different gear :)

[PAOV1976]

with wifi

[lens1996]

do you controll it with wifi or with the original controller

[PAOV1976]

@lens1996 with wifi

[roofy2k]

are you using a netburner?

[roofy2k]

@roofy2k nvm lol

[PAOV1976]

Via usb port. The router is a ASUS WL500GP

[dqd]

hey, your router has an usb port for connect the webcam?

[PAOV1976]

@dqd Yes, the router has builtin usb so i can connect a usb camera, usb hard drive, usb printer, ...

[suma4m]

I'm using Acer Aspire One (with built in webcam, SSD storage and without LCD), SK18 servocontroller for turning and relayboard for switching engine. I didn't "trash" the cover and radio receiver. Selling them made RC car cost me almost nothing.

Nice job, the thing I love about it is, as your wife said, it looks like a mini path finder. Sure, it is smaller and simpler but it would get the job done and is basically the same thing. Compare how much you spent to how much they spent.

[PAOV1976]

Thanks. It is still an ongoing project that is why i still haven't spent too much time writing.

I'll explain. The car is a cheap rc car, it has 3 motors, 2 for forward and backwards (4 wheel drive .-) ) and one other motor for direction. The router doesn't control the car, the Arduino does. The router receives the commands and passes them to the Arduino (which "controls" the electronic that controls the motors).

BRAVO for your project,it's the best from those i saw.Could you upload a video with the modification you did to your router so you can control the servos of yours rc car??I saw your site and you don't have too much details about the modification you did.thank you
