  • I'm interested in wireless control itself. Can you advise me, what should I choose for wireless control of at least 12 servos? bluetooth or wifi? I would like to control robot just tlike you did - "w" and it moves forward...

    Could you point me to the names of specific wireless hardware that I can buy? (Or at least the one bluetooth gadget you used?)

    And it will work with any servo controller, right?

  • @ordinary1passerby See my site, and all will be answered =P

  • @palmisano ...and could you explain what microcontrollers do I need for direct control only? You know, without any sensors, programmnig to flash memory and such. What should I search in feature list when searching for a microcontroller like that. (I didn't found this info on your website and actually on others too.)

  • @ordinary1passerby Just post your questions on my site forum, plenty of people can help you.

  • Great video keep up the good work.

  • Nice video/ Cool Robot! I dig the technology!

  • How cool, the future is now!

  • @palmisano now my eyes are dry but I still got many questions =P

    I found good wireless intro on sparkfun. com /tutorials /128 and there I found 2 good options:

    1)bluetooth (like you had:"BlueSMiRF Gold" 100m range, 65$)

    2) XBee (100m for 25$)

    What about XBee?Its price seems lower, but its seems I will need 2 of them, and for each I will need additional hardware "breakout board" or something. Will it work with "Mini Maestro 24-Channel USB Servo Controller",or"Pololu Serial 8-Servo Controller"?

  • Ok cool, I'll check it out. Thanks for the help.

  • @TheRobot452 99% of all microcontrollers use C/C++. Go into my channel, and watch the video 'How to Program Axon II in PD'. It can't get much easier than drag-n-drop programming.
