to mark as completed BoE Bot with WiFi Camera
This robot is based on a regular Parallax BoE Bot. I added 3 Ultra Sonic sensors, an Arduino WiFi shield and a WiFi web cam. Mainly the robot is following the wall on the right or on the left. It is also "looking" for the next wall. Manually control is possible with an Android smartphone and the local WiFi network. I use the free WiFi TCP/UDP app. With that app you can use some predeveloped functions to communicate with the WiFi shield. That's much better than with IR-Control. The camera pictures are shown in a browser on the PC. The next stage will be to develop my own Android app to combine the remote control with WiFi and the camera picture in just one app.
