Come play with my NXT!

Post by mightor »

I've written a small web server in ROBOTC to allow people to control the motor on my NXT over the Internet. It uses a Dexter Industries WiFi sensor to connect to the Internet. You can issue a command and watch the motor move. There's a 5 second video lag.

You can read all about it here: [LINK], click on the screenshot below to take you straight to the UStream Channel :)

It’s fully autonomic but it has some bugs, so waving a white flag may be perceived as a threat instead and it will act accordingly.
P l e a s e, can I feed it garbage? P L E E E A S E? :P I don't think your helicopter has range enough to catch me, and if it did, it couldn't stand against my Roboarm_Terror-56. Look what it did to this tree:

If you chopper comes too close, my bot will throw the tree at it. :P

Oh, well. That's pretty neat!

To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Ahh, always a nice feeling, raising someone's electricity bill somewhere in the netherlands :D

But in all seriousness, great way to demonstrate this powerful new module for the NXT!

Have a nice day,

Really cool. I agree with i-fixed-it-44 that would be really sweet.Can you make it so that i don't have to click the site to make it turn, instead just press a button on the keyboard?

No, I can't. It's a very simple NXT server that doesn't even serve HTML pages, just plain text. It is a proof of concept not an actual product :) I will be taking it offline after the coming weekend.
