Hi guys, I wanted to know if I can control two Brookstone rovers with one computer and two wireless cards. Its for a school project. Each card would connect to one of the rovers. I tried doing this with the ARC software and was unable to do so since it wouldn't let me add more than one control for the rover even though I was connected to two. I was wondering if this is possible with the SDK since I would be using it anyway or is it completely limited to controlling one rover.
DJ how come i am able to do it on mine
You have not connected both rovers to one pc. You have connected two rovers to two different PCs. I have explained why that works and why connecting two rovers on one PC will not work.
YES that i keep telling you ,but you never read it,i know you cant connect both ROVERS to one pc ,i tried this
Sorry, but what on Earth are you saying you have managed to do then?
I have read every word you have typed. I have explained everything to you on countless occasions. What is it you have done which we are saying cannot be done?
Two rovers on one PC cannot happen. Two rovers on two PCs can happen as the wireless adhoc networks do not conflict with each other as they are not joined in any way, shape or form.
You are unable to control two rovers on one PC. Even with two wifi adapters. The ip addresses of the rovers are the same, which creates an ip conflict.
YES i know that ,DJ but can change the ip address for it ,like 192.168.1.100 for one and 192.168.1.102 for another
Will post a video of it when i finish my projects and the complete step by step on how to set it up
You are unable to change the IP address of the rovers.
Also, you cannot have the same network on two separate adapters. In your example, you listed both rovers as being 192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0
You cannot span a network across two adapters.
If there was a way to change the ip of the rover, They would need to be on separate networks.
192.168.1.x 192.168.2.x
Each adapter requires its own network.
YES i know that,my have a friend who is a expert at networking since he use to work for a company the makes network card
So he will,tell me step by step on how he did it,only wish he like a across from the street from me ,but moved to philly,penn
SO he is best solution,I never give up,and i will find a fix for this.
he did tell me about me might needing its own adapter and he said you can use 2 usb wireless cards with some changes on one computer i JUST ordered another USB wireless card
RICH YOU SAID THIS :Two rovers on two PCs can happen as the wireless adhoc networks do not conflict with each other as they are not joined in any way, shape or form. Thats how mine works
