I wrote the Windows controller, just because the visitors of our stands like better windows than *nix. Since the application’s purpose was just to send plain text over tcp, I used a high leve, basic-like scripting language, AutoIt V3.
First, I should mention some commands the robot knows about:
I should mention that the numbers are positions, and changing the state of a servo from one limit to another takes about 0.2-0.4 seconds.
Here you have the (very bugged) source in AutoIT. Copy the text and try to compile it. The robot movements should work. Everything is released under GPL, so you can do anything you want with the code, but please, mention somewhere where did you take it from (Open Video Robot - http://wifibot.linux-geek.org)
Later, the Linux’s controller code - in QT

We continued with the robot development after the Jury’s special award in Dreamline International Design Olympiad, and tried to go to other contests. We qualified also to Busef, in Adana,Turkey, but didn’t manage to go, since it was Easter holiday in Romania. But we succeded to qualify to Infomatrix (in Bucharest, Romania), and more than […]
