Hello,
I'm trying to control my WowWee Rovio through httpget cgi commands with EZB scripts manager and so far it works but I can't get it to work with the user account I have set. Since it's connected to the Internet it's unimaginable to use it without user security.
For example I can get it to go home and dock with the following command :
httpget(http://192.168.0.142/rev.cgi?Cmd=nav&action=13)
But it works only if I deactivate the user security feature.
I tried to input user and password as follows :
httpget(http://192.168.0.142/rev.cgi?user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&Cmd=nav&action=13)
but it doesn't work. I must be missing something, I guess.
I'm using this documentation (below) to find out the solution but I can't find an answer to my question, perhaps and probably because I don't understand all the grammar in cgi commands. So if someone knows out I could work this arround, that would be great. I've been looking since yesterday now.

Many thanks, Elfege
PS : since I already pay for a fix IP address I'm very relunctant to use a DynDNS account.
@Alan, There are 4 LEDs 2 are IR the other 2 are visible light. The 2 visible light are just for aiming not used for navigation. the 2 IR, each have a set frequency they pulse at with a 50% duty cycle. Here is a freq chart RMID LED# Target Freq Hz 0 1 3040 0 2 2010 1 1 4050 1 2 3090 2 1 4170 2 2 3210 3 1 4290 3 2 3330 4 1 4410 4 2 3450 5 1 4530 5 2 3570 6 1 4650 6 2 3690 7 1 4770 7 2 3810 8 1 4890 8 2 3930 9 1 5010 9 2 4050
If you use the API command: http://ipaddress:port/rev.cgi?Cmd=nav&action=1 This will generate a report that looks like this: Cmd = nav\nresponses = 0|x=3471|y=1632|theta=-3.065|room=0|ss=18210\n|beacon=0|beacon_x=0|next_room=9|next_room_ss=37\n|state=0|ui_status=0|resistance=0|sm=15|pp=0|flags=0001\n|brightness=6|resolution=3|video_compression=2|frame_rate=30\n|privilege=0|user_check=0|speaker_volume=5|mic_volume=5\n|wifi_ss=212|show_time=0|ddns_state=0|email_state=0\n|battery=117|charging=72|head_position=203|ac_freq=2\n
If x and y both have numbers and room=0, I think that should be good. I have written an EZ-Script that gets this info and parses it into variables if you are interested.
i just read indeed it uses only wifi for video and driving. here a little text for the docking of the rovio.its from robotcommunity.com.
