@Dj An idea for the WiFi (you are probably way ahead of me on this already).. At least one of the WiFi TTL devices I played with (I think it was the Roving Networks) could be programmed to connect to an infrastructure (ie, home, office) network, but if it didn't find one it knew before timing out, it would switch to Access Point mode and create its own network.
This would be great for a robot that you usually use at home or office, but when you want to take it somewhere to demo, it would broadcast its own SSD and provide an IP address to the computer running ARC that connects to its network.
That would be better than something like the AR Drone Parrot that you lose your internet access if you connect to the Parrot's network. You still would where there was no other network, but wouldn't need to where both the EZ-B and the ARC were on the same network.
Thanks Alan, it's taken care of You will find a configurable ADHOC and Infrastructure configuration in ARC. Also, the ability to chain multiple EZ-B's together. Plus a few other goodies, that will be released over time
I knew you were coming out with a new product, I just didn't realize there was going to be a big gap in between products being available.
Some backgound - My son came to ne early in the summer and aske dme if we could build a robot over the summer. Who could say "No" to that? So, I did a little reasearch and it looked like EZ Robot was going to be the product for us with everything that came in the kit, and considering out lack of experience, the software looked easy to use. I'll just have to let him know it will be a while longer.
There is a kit on ebay if all of the other re-sellers are out of stock...not mine, and not associated with the seller, but it would help your Summer project!
