MEDC 2007 is just around the corner, and I can't think of a better place to debut WiMonet, the newest addition to the WiMo family. A white board is his canvas and a dry-erase pen is his paintbrush. WiMonet I can't believe it's already been a year since I introduced the first WiMo at MEDC 2006....

WiMo (The Windows Mobile Robot) has a couple of cousins! Some students and faculty over at the Auto ID lab at MIT have built a few WiMos to experiment in their RFID research. For more information on their project, you can check out their project web page at http://autoid.mit.edu/cs . In celebration of...

It's been awhile since I've posted about WiMo. I can probably blame the summer most for that since the Seattle summers are so nice! There's just no excuse to be inside during the nice days of summer.

Just like the original WiMo, it talks to the Lego NXT brick via Bluetooth. In fact, most of the code is the same except for the actual protocol...

In building the 3rd WiMo, I took notes and many photos of the process that are now posted up on www.wimobot.com . So, if you are interested in building WiMo the...

I have created a website ( www.wimobot.com ) that can be used as a reference for information about WiMo. I'll be posting hardware plans and source code there along with any other information about WiMo (like my next version of WiMo). As I add new information that is related to Windows Mobile, I'll be...

I'd like to introduce everyone to WiMo. WiMo, this is everyone... Everyone, this is WiMo. What exactly is WiMo? and why did I build him? Both are great questions. WiMo is the the Windows Mobile Robot. The name comes from the "Wi" from "Windows" and "Mo" from "Mobile" and is pronounced "Weemo" (think...
