About
This is a Raspberry Pi powered robot rover that can be controlled with an Android device in the same Wifi network. It can move forward, backward and sidewise. The rover has a Raspi Cam on it which streams video to a Windows computer.
Software
On the rover: A java application which is connected to a computer (Server) in the Wifi network. It receives commands from the server computer and activates the GPIOs. The SignalR Java client is used for real-time communication.
On Server: IIS Web server hosting an ASP.Net web application which serves as a middleman between the rover and the Android device. SignalR hubs handle the real-time communication.
On the Android device: An Android app with a few control buttons that lets you control the rover remotely in the same network.
