basbase Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Hello Eurobricks. My name is Bas and I'm a 24 year old ICT student from the Netherlands. I'd like to share my latest project with you. It's a WiFi controlled Lego robot with an onboard camera. With it I can drive around in my house (or any other place with WiFi) from anywhere on the world while sitting behind my laptop. It uses an Arduino with a WiFi shield to translate the WiFi signal to the Power Functions IR protocol. A stripped wireless IP camera takes care of the video stream. More info like schematics, photos and source codes can be found on my website: http://brickbot.net/projects/wifi-lego-camera-robot Edited August 4, 2011 by basbase Quote

I love your simplified 3D renders! Google Sketchup? Edited August 5, 2011 by Gekke Ted Quote
basbase Posted August 5, 2011 Author Posted August 5, 2011 Thanks Ted. Actually this robot does not use NXT/Mindstorms at all. I used an Arduino for the control unit as it is a lot cheaper than NXT. Also it allows me to use WiFi, which has a lot more range than bluetooth. The 3D renders are indeed done with Google Sketchup. Quote

I wasn't paying attention, my bad. Non NXT robot are cool too ;) Quote
