hello there
first of all i have no idea if i am in the right place :/.
I am in the process of collecting my bb8 bot's parts and wile playing around with my ezb-v4 i was just wondering if there are plans to add voice commands/speech recognition to the ios/android apps ? because i think that would be a very cool and futuristic feature :).
I'm thinking that with the help of GPS and some sensors my robot could return to my location and other things with just one command (inspired by knight rider ).
at the moment i am thinking that with bb8 being sealed off on the inside then i could use any form of two way communication as in walkie talkies or some thing like that :/ .
well that's me done before i really start babbling on :). I just wanted to throw this out there
thank for reading and sorry if its in the wrong place :/
I'll address the GPS question... Since it is only accurate to about 10ft using a gps indoors would be pretty useless... Outdoors only... It wouldn't be that difficult to get a robot to navigate to a waypoint, but it will require some scripting... I did it a few years back using a small 4 wheeled rover, a Basic Atom Pro microcontroller and a Garmin handheld GPS... It's definitely do able...
The EZB uses wifi for two way communication.... What would you use the walkie talkies for?
i was thinking that with the walkie talkies i could give the ezbv4 the commands and with the bb8's body going to be almost sound proof then only my voice will be heard in there "in theory"
If you are, than a BT headset paired to the pc is a good choice.
