Demonstration of the USB Host functionality of the FEZ Panda, used to communicate with 3 different PS3 controllers via a USB Bluetooth dongle.
The controllers are used to control our NXT Motor shield that controls a robot built with Lego Technics.

  • You uploaded the VB.net source code of your RC car project which was fantastic, I was a bit curious on what the Arduino code consisted of?

    I'm thinking you just read the packet data from the wifi shield and just had a simple string parser that looked for the commands "Forward", "reverse" and ect...

    Is there any arduino code you can uplaod for use to poke around with?

    Thanks :)

  • @VexingCode Ahh that sounds very good. We would like to see some pictures or maybe some video of it in action, when you have built it.

    The Arduino code, for use with the WiShield, can also be found in the same ZIP file as the Visual Basic .NET code. It is found in the .pde file and socketapp.c.

  • @mindthomas Thanks! Yeah Only thing holding me back is money and taking 19 credits at University with 26 hours a week at work too. I'll get it done eventually, people like you on youtube are truly inspirations for motivation

  • Love it, I'm building a RC car with GPS and Wifi, based on your wifi design car, and I want to control it with my droid and have it relay gps coordinates in real time.
