Web-Controlled RoboClaw v1 (Walk-through and Demo)

[diegonimus]

Hello...nice work...what did you use for embed the webcam? did you use only javascript?

[sciguy14]

@diegonimus It's just an iframe.

[sciguy14]

@Schilcote They are solid state.

[karandex]

hey i want to do it on my robotics arm, Can you help me on the way ? How to do it with arduino ?

[sciguy14]

@karandex There is full source at my site, that should help you (link in description). This obviously designed for the arduino, but could easily be accomplished with an arduino too. Just get an arduino + an ethernet shield plus some solid state relays. Transistors would probably work too.

[milkymilkway]

How many motors are there?

[sciguy14]

@milkymilkway 5

[ThePie12121]

next step the legs

[mrjrountree]

ahh but it would be cool if it could

[mrjrountree]

could you use it if a can of coke was out of your reach or is the claw to small ?

[sciguy14]

@mrjrountree The motors are probably too weak to pick up a can of coke.

[MJD595]

Nice work. I have Stamp micro experience but no real networking knowledge. How do you like the Netburner? Would you recommend it to networking novice?

[sciguy14]

@MJD595 It was okay. It's a pretty straight forward serial interface. Communicating with the Parallax propeller was a bit tricky. I'd probably be easier with an atmel device like an arduino. I'd recommend giving it a try. It works well.

[batownage2]

damn.. thats just genius!!! Your gonna make a hell of money if you sell that.

[zentetsu32]

Wow think if you were gone like at starbucks or something and some one goes into your room you could scare the crap out of them!.. So cool..

Off topic: Are you an atheist? btw sweet robot.

[vacklinge]

If u have wireless internet at home do this with a remote controled car

[J1SLY]

Yo u have not maken a video in like 4 months. Any reason why.

[sciguy14]

I've been very busy with school work... I'll have more videos as soon as I have time

[cubesicletk]

I have that robot! I've been trying to strap it to an rc car and make them both go to a wireless controller... Its not going well... XD

[sciguy14]

haha good luck!

[piopawlu]

You should use some ajax, as reloading the page each time you click a control makes no sense. Other than that, pretty fun to play with!

[sciguy14]

I agree totally, and I've already written that. I'm still debugging though.

[jtmkeep]

We programmed a similar robot in class. We had to record actions and when we launched the operation pressing a key, it carried out the recorded commands.

Nice job 5/5

[sciguy14]

Was this class Computer Instrumentation Design? Because I just did that in my class as well.

[jtmkeep]

Ehm, well it's in class of technology and the "robot's" name is Youpi x))

[sciguy14]

oh ok, cool

[jtmkeep]

^^.

[J1SLY]

When are u going to make your next video it's been two months.

[sciguy14]

I know I know. I'm super busy with college work. I just haven't had the time.

[webduncetv]

wow! cool!

[motd567]

i'm doing something similar with the lego NXT controlled via Lan / W-Lan but, nice job ;) 10/5

[muffemod]

good job

[Zayras7]

lol looks awesome

[eoinycroiny]

haha thats awsome, its great the ideas people come up with when they get bored of something :P

[sciguy14]

That's a good idea. I'll look into it

[cyrozap]

Maybe you could have something in Flash on the page to handle the video feed and control via keyboard presses.

[MolotovDaSkwerl]

bloody brilliant

[Bob8673]

cool stuff man :P

[asus3571]

dude your smart as fuck you remind of jeff goldblum from independence day

[jack292001]

Good work man! you are awesome!

[DaemonAnt]

This thing is amazing. Javascript certainly has it's uses.

[AppleAdvantage]

could be used for military purposes, hmmmm keep working lol

[zoop425]

very cool Jeremy. It would be awesome if you made something like this with those little electronic robots and had a website where people could sign up, pay and then control one of them for about 15 minutes and have battles with other people

[ocamartin]

nice!

[CPHComputerHelp95]

Also, have you thought about mounting a secondary camera on the actual claw, to make controlling it easier?

[sciguy14]

yes, I actually tried it, but it stresses out the motors a bit to much. I need to find a smaller, lighter camera, which I haven't been able to do yet.

[CPHComputerHelp95]

Wow man, you have brains. First the nerf gun, now this? Whats next? lolz. You should start tutorials on how to do stuff like this.

[ZerqTM]

Sweet :3

but wont that thing go crazy has hundreds of people strugle for control of it?

[tehpwnerer117]

that's exactly what i was thinking, but hopefully there is like a waiting list or something of the sorts on the website

[sciguy14]

The site will be password protected and only I will have access.

[sbrideau2000]

You should use php so the pag doesn't seem to load every time :P.

[sciguy14]

Yeah I know, this is still v1 remember. I'll do some kind of ajax revision in the future.

[ansamzedan]

way to go man :)

[taltigolt]

thats awesome

[CraigBass1988]

That's really good! Congratulations man, you will make something of yourself.

[lovewoolies]

your gonna be something big one day man. just keep doing what you love and you will make it huge.

btw that is an awesome claw. still not as cool as you nerf minigun :P

[sciguy14]

Haha thanks. It may not be as cool as the nerf gun, but at least it's small enough to keep in my dorm... ;)

[runie360]

Oh my god that is awesome!

I should try something like this sometime.

Just not as complex tho.

[WestCoastMods]

Pretty amazing! Thanks for sharing thet with us.

Cheers

LazyMan :-)
