Hi guys
Im working on putting together the bits and pieces to our project and was looking for an opinion of using this type of approach to an on board computer. My goal is to ensure that the rover does not drop signal and go dark on me.
The Project Jarvis video shows him using Arduino, (poor guy ) lol but im looking at the mother board he is using.
Has anyone gone this route before, then connect to the robot via mirror desktop application?

Any input would be much appreciated.
@DJ I seriously cant believe how much the EZB4 has brought to the table and made possible for this project
Ive used Team Viewer in the past for remote Visions system trouble shooting, not bad.
Checking out a video for Tight VNC now, thanks DJ
@Dana W... how about the NetTop idea (in post #3)... cheap, compact and a full blown Win 7Pro PC... Just need to power it somehow... A 20amp SLA and you're good for 8 hours or more...
Now you know why most of us think the EZB4 is an arduino killer...
Neither the front or the rear camera on the W3 works with ARC unfortunately, they throw an exception error at all resolution settings. But they are really crappy cameras anyway. Would be better with a cheap USB webcam, or just use the EZ-B camera.

@Alan, thanks... Like I said, never tested it... so good to know....
@Richard R Def going to look at that option (Net Top), may save some time and hassle, thanks! And no question on the EZB for simply getting busy with the creative end of things. If i can incorporate a good stable connection with an onboard pc, than i wont feel the need for any backup from an Arduino, and i like the sounds of that! I was laughing to myself watching the Jarvis video.
@thetechguru Ive played with my LT camera, and although it works, crappy camera, but was fun playing with the 2 cameras at once
