Hi Everyone,
I have a few questions. I will be ordering very soon.
I have very little programming experience however I am willing to learn. I would like to create a security rover robot which I can control from my home computer over wifi.
I think DJ is incredible. He has really empowered a whole generation of people.
Since my main concentration will be on autonomous robots as well as interaction via my PC and tablet I would like a method to create a custom GUI I would like to add color, buttons, backgrounds, etc. for a personal touch. Are there any tutorials or programs anyone could recommend?
I have a MAC and iPad however I am willing to invest in a cheap laptop for my new hobby :).
I am also wondering about the camera. I guess I could always connect and power an ip camera to my robot so I guess that won't be an issue now that I think about it I'm just really excited. I have so many ideas in my head. Which brings me to my last question. Is there a way for registered users to port their creations to a smaller board for multiple projects ? In the future I can see an additional board however this will become very costly as the project could grows and believe me it will grow ;). I will give you an example. I recently started build quadcopters. I love building them. In less than two months I have built over 7 of them now picture all of the motors, batteries, esc's, supplies, controllers I have bought OMG!!! Actually never mind I don't even want to think about that lol.
I hope to have pictures to share with you all soon. This seems like a great community.
Thank you for your reply. It isn't that I don't wish to use the software. I would just like to personalize the user interface. Lately I've been working with Xcode. I think it would be nice for my growth and development to have the ability to represent sliders, buttons, input fields etc in different shapes, sizes, colors, etc it would really help me learn more about GUI something that I've been interested in for a long time. I hope you understand what I mean. Thank you.
Thank you for our reply. I guess I figured it would not be to difficult especially after using Xcode which so far seems to be inline with what I would like to be able to do.
I'm sure this will be addressed at some point giving the fact that people love to customized everything.
I remember before selling my Motorola Xoom within a week or so of buying it I gave it a whole new custom ROM of course it was from following information found etc but I was able to piece together different information and create something unique. This is a great feeling for me. I guess I'm just so use to doing it to everything I own I didn't really really think about the process.
I think I will start exploring software options.
Thank you, I will follow your advise. Take care best wishes.
As for your iPad and iPhone.... Stay tuned in the next week for a big announcement. Ssssssssshhhhhh
for all the good you do Sures, this one hurts.

I'll write a post tonight about android options available now after dinner. Posting from my Android phone on the DC metro now, so too many typos for an in depth post.

I am working on my HA interface to EZ-B and will give a preview soon. Thanks to DJ''s allowing Script commands via TCP/IP I can now do some interfacing. I have not yet asked but wanted to see if the VB script in ARC is working yet? I cannot seem to get it going and wonder if it is enabled? Alan, sounds like you are enjoying the DC metro in the lovely weather we are having this evening!

This is such an awesome product and community. I feel so happy to be apart of this. DJ that has me really excited I can't wait to begin.
kkeast thank you.
Looking forward to keeping in touch with you all. Take care everyone best wishes.
@cheekid thank you very much
We're working on our press release to discuss the mobile device thing....
I also spent the evening with EZ-Bits... I'm very close.. I have a more powerful motor controller. And, the latest ARC supports PWM, which is an important part of the new motor controller.
Oops, i've said too much!
That sounds awesome DJ. I'm with you bret.tallent ! I took my Arduino MEGA out wrapped it, packed it, and put it in storage. It's a nice controller however DJ IMO just took the robotic society to a whole new level. Not only is the product awesome but the support, community, and his constant attention set the bar to an untouchable level.
