Robot uses an Omron PLC, wireless router, 2 digital to analog converters (16 bit), a sabertooth 2x12 motor controller, misc relays, it reports back battery charge and engine RPM. The PC program written in VB.net transmitts and receives UDP data along with audio and video from the HD IP camera, movement is controlled by a joystick, a watchdog timer shuts down the engine if communication is lost and the enging won’t start unless communicating, I work with PLC’s, so easiest for me to use. I’m starting another one using a raspberry PI 2 and brushing up on Python.
