New Age Idea
Ok. Last week I was browsing through this Wi Fi for home networks, their setup et al. Interesting and holds a promise for completing my project. All I will need to do is set up a wifi network between my bot and my desktop and bingo, I can even internet enable my bot. Wow. But I wonder what it costs like in India!??! I have just started researching the costs and will have a budget early next week.
Next step would be plan the set up and then complete the n/w code for the bot. Its pretty incomplete too. This time around, I am sticking to Linux. For the project work, we were wasting time with Windows. Its too heavy for a bot, that too a controlled one. Windows was trying to get more intelligent than my code and blowed the whole idea. But then, I did not know even this much Linux during project days!
Ok, that calls for laying out a project development strategy and tools acquisition strategy. I almost have to start from scratch. I only have the four wheels and the frame and one old mother board. I wonder if that board can go alive??? Also, I need to figure out how to get a PC on a battery!? Stupid, right?
Heard of Mobilis? Its a tablet PC from some Indian Co. Costs something like 10 grands. I ll probably get its specs and start from there. That way, I won’t have to worry about the supply details. What says you?
