wallekid1 · Answer

is that the only way???

robotmaker · Answer

yes,there is no usb port on EZB,ITS a microcontroller does not having a operating system like windows installed, other way you can do it is buy a bluetooth webcam or wifi,problem is using a webcam it needs windows drivers installed on bluetooth or WIFI it transmitt signal to a computer with drivers installed on a operating system and you see it on your PC the video there is the ROBOBOARD can can install windows or rabbit board,both are small,but like all boards you need memory stick or hard drive,there is a tiny LINUX BOARD ALSO there another way but very hard to hack a USB webcam and find the TTL PORT going to the USB chip and tie a bluetooth transmitter to it,never tried it but might work

You can used a wifi cam like this...  Or just put a computer inside your bot , a 6.5 inch mini itx....

robotmaker · Answer

@JSTARNE is not the bluetooth that EZ robot sells lot of my robot designs use a itx-board ,but smaller robots need a bluetooth like in DJ wall-e project

jstarne1 · Answer

Yea , I gotta controll any other robots with Bluetooth , its too much money to put a itx in each one lol.

robotmaker · Answer

problem with that is only one robot can be used at a time,ebay has nice itx board 2gig 1.6 ghz for under $50 also LEAF software does have robochat,where the robots can talk to each other about us second LEAF can control ROVIO robot and if you add roborealm software to there are others to control and soon EZB,plus control it from any place in the world just way to much to list here,will take a page or 2

Me 2! Pls!

Do a search on eBay for: atom motherboard

Here's a single core for $40

Here's a dual core for $50

It appears that both of these run off the ATX 4-pin 12V Aux power supply connection alone... But Dell is notorious for using what look like Standard ATX power connections in non-standard ways.. So I'd grab an original power supply for $15 to verify yourself with volt meter.

Lundebc · Answer

@jstarne1, what OS will you run on that miniITX? Are you planning on XP? With a solid state drive, they could be very useful!

robotmaker · Answer

thats what i do for most of my robots. ,SSD is better because of low power,cant really get damaged. and lower weight
