Flyport controls the RC car using 2 PWM (engine and steer) and connects it to the Wi-Fi network.
We are able to drive the car using body movement in front of Microsoft Kinect

  • @Val3ri084 Yes, wifi with OpenPicus Flyport module. Programming the module has been very easy, a little bit harder was modifying the servos of the rc model, but we made all the work in very few days

  • @yohokychi Speed depends on rc model used... However it waqs our first run, so we were not using maximum speed... High speed is dangerous! :D

  • It's over wifi really? cool! I need to start to study this platform....but wait a minute, programming is C or other language?

  • amazing application for Kinetic! great job, guys!

  • Really a great hack! Now that Kinect has an SDK i can imagine a great set of apps with hardware like this openpicus!

  • Very good job guys :)

  • Hey! nice job... I was implementing something similar, but no wireless. your flyport is the solution for my needs...

    A little question: is this the max speed for your RC car? it seems a bit slow...

  • Is that point to point wifi, or are both connected to another (non-OpenPicus) access point? I'm having difficulty figuring out why portable RC devices (such as cars, quadcopters, etc) should be connected to a common network through another non-OpenPicus Access Point, although I do see sense with regards to static devices such as temperature gauges, when it comes to portable projects surely Point to Point is the way to go ... yet I'm having trouble getting OpenPicus point-to-point working.
