Hi,
I am currently creating a remote controlled robot. It will be remote
controlled over the internet (Wifi) and will have a camera (USB web
cam). Since it is the first version (for demonstration), I will control
it using a Pentium 4 laptop sitting on top of it. The motors will be
controlled using the LPT ****t and I will connect to the web cam using
Willing Webcam.
I am currently in the conception of the client and the server to control
the motors. It will be a simple application connecting to the server. No
standards needs to be followed. The best idea would be to create my own
protocol, E.G. "f" = motor forward, "b" = motor backward, "s+" = speed
up, etc. I have no problem using the LPT ****t, but I am completely in
the dark about Internet communications. How exactly can I do this? Do I
use a specific component or a DLL? And, last question, are they any
webcam-specific component I can use to transfer the stream on my
application?
Thank you very much, your help is appreciated!
