I saw the video about using the ez-robot software to control a brookstone rover. I am not clear on what physical changes are needed to the rover device? It seemed that the EZ software had a "device type" for brookstone rover so only connecting to it via the ez software was all that was needed? Is this correct?
Any detailed video on what you must do to utilize the brookstone rover?

Add the camera control to your project then...
Thank you very much, the big arrows pointed the way and now I'm up and running.
Anyone know how to extend the distance that the rover can be operated?

bobalston What are you presently using between your PC and the EZ-B (V3)? If you're using the stock bluetooth supplied with the EZ-B (V3) unit it is a Class 2 device with a 10 meter limit. You can upgrade to class 1 bluetooth devices to obtain up to a 100 meter range. You need a BlueSM1RF from Sparkfun.com and a Class 1 bluetooth USB dongle from Radio Shack or BestBuy or similar stores.
I am using my PC and the Brookstone rover device. No EZ-b board at all.
then i dont think you can controll the rover.you have to connect the ARC to the rover thru a controller.
Not sure what version of the rover you have, but the Bluetooth version has a range of 30ft unless you can figure out how to upgrade the Bluetooth in the rover itself... If you have version 2 the range will be within your wifi network, I would imagine...
Anyone upgraded the bluetooth in the rover itself?
