Wireless Internet Controlled Robot

This is a project I made for an engineering class. It is a simple robot that I made earlier in the class that was retrofitted with wireless communications. The wireless transmitter connected to the computer can be controlled either through a serial comm program or by a web server I wrote. The robot can also follow a white line on a black surface.

Its interesting, but I don't see a practical application of using a website to control it using page refreshes. If you could setup a pattern of events (move forward 3 feet, then make a 90 degree turn) then it would work better.

Regardless, nice work on the layout!

Thanks.

The website was the last thing I added so I just looking for a quick solution to control the robot. Web pages also work across many phones.

I do think that it would be better to use javascript so it would be smoother vs page reloading.

Making patterns would be a nice addition but the robot is no more. I needed some parts. Lol.

Now that's cool

Hello. I find really Interesting all what you have done. I need to do some similar things for a university project, can you give me your email adrees so I can ask you some questions about some functions of the wireless communication. Thank you
