Here is a detailed overview video of the basics of the Nrover platform. UPDATE – I have uploaded the source code used in this video to the Nrover Software page– also I will try to make a better video soon using a more advanced version of the software and 2 cameras so you can see both the rover outside and the control station and video feed inside at the same time. The basic idea is a live video stream allowing you to remote control the platform. This is on a Nokia N97 Mini but the same code would run on most nokia S60 phones with a camera, bluetooth, and network connection of some kind.
Note, there is an older version of a similar setup I recorded a video of back in 2008 here. This is done using programs written both in Symbian C++ and in Python-For-S60. I’d like to put out special thanks to Paavo of the Pys60 team (Good work hiring this guy, Nokia!) and to Martin Storsjo of the Movino project who has also been a great help.
Fantastic work! Do you know where I could pick up that base and track?
Just search froogle for “kyosho blizzard” a lot of hobby shops have them (R/C Planet, for one) — get the EP or DF-300 EP versions for electric power (the GP is gas powered)-
