Finally, after waiting several months for misc parts to ship from deal extreme, only to be lost in the mail, reshipped, etc..., the parts have arrived I needed to make an arduino web server. The parts arrived damaged, but useable. This is not uncommon for DX.com, so I'm ditching them and looking for other vendors.
After going through the trouble of setting up the web server and getting it to work, it turns out my local ISP only does dynamic addresses, so fail. I will not be able to host a home server accessible by the internet. Even though I had everything set up correctly on the router port forwarding and static IP, and tested it via smart phone, the ISP just doesn't offer static services, so the connection eventually suffers death by new address. Just got off the phone with them to confirm they suck. Yes. Yes they do.
I could keep everything in tact and use the robot via LAN, but the project wouldn't be for home security anymore. I really wanted control from anywhere in the world via web. LAN may be useful in a work environment, shuttling small items and paperwork around the office... but any way you look at it...
It's time to reconfigure the project! I'm not scrapping it, but I'll need some time to re-evaluate what I want out of this robot. Perhaps I'll go the FPV route as an environmental surveyor, but I don't see the current roaming code being of much use. Hopefully, someone learned something from all the work I've done up until now. I know I did and am still having lots of fun.
