Brian

great work !!! I'll make a post in mi spanish blog related to your work; and I'll make a try with the camera with mi Lego NXT (I don't know if the Lego will support the weight of the camera :P)

Great work again !!!

Bye from Spain

Nice!

Never ever did I dream of a RC Car being the ultimate Spy device!

Would this work of and RC device?

As I have a chopper that I would love to have a camera on =)

Oh, and Is there any way to boost the signal of both the RC car and the camera? When it goes around the house the image goes choppy and the car starts going in odd directions...

Fantastic project

Weasel =)

I want to add the Wireless Camera but is the Camera live or is it a tape

I have no problem compiling the codes. However, when I run the application, this error occurs "Exception:Method not found: 'Int64 Phidgets.Phidget.get_SerialNumber()'". I have tested using the Phidget program and have no problem activating the digital output.

I appreciate if anyone can give any comments.

Thanks

I found this project to be a great example of how 30 years of progress have done little to advance the usefulness of computers for controling hardware.

It would be interesting to compare this project with a similar one from the 70's on a TRS-80.

The fact that an expert, armed with all the latest tools failed to get Visual Basic to work, says it best.

A warning at the begining of the article would be a great time saver for those of us foolish enough to keep chasing these claims of fictional computer advancement.

If only my computer had a parallel port.

cool project...but i m not able to run the car...i have taken 2 wires each from each metal contact...one for NO and the other for XC...where do u think i have gone wrong?pls do reply immediately...thanx

this is weak. not even "robotics". and a *digital* remote instead of analog with finer grained control?!?

Amazing. I went from having very very little electronics experience and moderate PHP skills (meaning, I've never programmed in Visual C#) to moving a cheap $7 rc car from walmart around with my laptop...all under an hour (w/ installation). Most of the time was spent trying to find out why "SetOutputRequestType" wasn't a valid command. I ended up getting around it by changing "phidgetcommon." to "Phidgets.Robotics.Services.PhidgetInterfaceKitBoards.Proxy

." in the "public void SetOutput(Direction dir, bool enabled)" method. Seemed to do the trick, because I'm chasing our cats and dogs around as I'm typing this. Thanks Brian!

if you make it with one remote control will it control just the car it was made from or will 1 comp controller control multiple cars

So, if you are using an 8/8/8 board versus a 0/0/4 board you have digital outputs versus physical relays. Does this make wiring the RC transmitter different for the 8/8/8 compared to the 0/0/4? In one, the power is coming from the USB port, and in the other, the power is coming from the RC transmitter itself.

Thanks!

@David B: yes, 8/8/8 is digital, 0/0/4 are analog.

As for wiring, click the contact us link at the top, I'll put you in contact with Brian Peek.

A nice project.i want to do a similar project with some modification like go and stop buttons.

Great project but Please help! I have installed all needed software but had to use Microsoft Robotics 1.5. Everything works so far but the keyup event. I hit the keyboard direction keys and the relay click but when I take my finger off it does not set the relay to false. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

This is a great work done by you Brian.

But, what I would like to comment here is, we really do not need a complex hardware interface. A simpler and cheaper solution would be to use a stacked buffer chip.

if you'd like to know more on how to do it, I can share the circuit diagram and concept with you. I had done this as my final semester project during my bachelors degree.

mail me at mrunmoyAThotmailDOTcom or mrunmoyATyahooDOTcom (please replace DOT with . and AT with @, I've put them just to avoid spams from webbots)

otherwise, great work!

Best Regards,

Mrunmoy

How do you tell if your remote control is digital or not?

re: Computer-Controlled R/C Car with Camera

Scott K — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 04:12:12 GMT

This is great! I am working with 0/16/16 phidget board. I have everything installed but I just can't seem to get the wiring right. Is there an article or other project that would go into more detail on wiring, relays, circuits etc... Also, do I need the battery on the remote control or is the USB sufficiant for the controller's power?

thanks again.
