I’m back to work on the Wifi robot. Here’s a quick re-cap:

Goal: build a simple robot that can be controlled VIA website

• Mechanical Build
  • Design: Done
  • CAD/Vector Files: Done
  • Parts: Done (fabricated and ordered)
  • Assembly: Done
• Electrical Build:
  • Motor Controllers: Chips in hand, need to design/build
  • Circuit Design: Not Started
• Raspberry Pi (brains)
  • Wifi: RTL8192 Installed – works on home network
  • Webserver/website: Used cherrypy and jquery – works, but has limitations
  • Command Logic: Python script written to interpret keystrokes from website into motor outputs – done
  • GPIO script: In process

I’m nearing completion, but I haven’t put enough time into this blog to update pictures and publish code.
