etorobot
Hi I just discovered EZ robot today, and it seems really nice I was about to start working on a project to add a camera to an rc truck (Bonzer cross tiger), i'm wondering should i buy and add the ez robot wireless camera or this one ( http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__13437__2_4GHZ_1000mW_Tx_Rx_1_3_inch_CCD_Camera_PAL.html )
these are the other things i'd want to add but i wanna first start with the camera : -speaker that sound comes out of the truck while you talk into some sort of a microphone, and you can hear sound from the truck's area -ultrasonic sensor to make the truck stop when it gets 10 cm close to an object (unless overidden) -a way to know when the battery is full -A LOT of LED's -a longer lasting battery -SOLAR POWER confused
PJ, i just want to have a camera on my truck, that i can view while it drives. also speakers in the car so when i talk from a distance the sound comes from the car, and i can hear whatever sound is in the car's area. a lot of LED's to make the car SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND. solar power on the car to add to the battery, make it longer lasting. a longer lasting battery (currently a 7.2v, 1800 maH) that lasts for 10 minutes. the truck is brand new btw. a way to know when to battery is full. and an ultrasonic to stop the car 10cm from any object, unless somehow overridden while in motion :/ . and a programmble board ( something like arduino) so i can program the robot, like if i make a program named circle, for the robot to just go round and round, it can be activited when i say/click/tell it to "circle" .
The EZ-B is way simpler but only has 100m and its frame rate is quite slow. The CCD camera will have 1000m distance and a much better frame rate meaning the video will be a normal speed, but does not plug into USB and will require either a converter/adapter to USB or an LCD screen. It all depends on what you want. I am currently using a transmitter and reciever that has 1000m capability and can also send audio, perfect for your truck. Choose one of the 2 cameras and get this or similar to send your audio to speakers:

For rc applications the ez-b camera may dissapoint. All 2.4ghz hobby grade rc rx/tx I know of use frequency hopping so a 2.4ghz camera should be fine from what I understand.
Was you able to modified the R/C truck with EZ-B?
