Title: Help me with my PC controlled R/C car
Post by: shyam4uall on August 29, 2008, 11:56:09 PM

hello...guys i am just a beginer so doesn't have much info about this field.I m building a computer controlled RC car where the navigation part of the car wud be controlled through the parallel port of the PC.

It also mounts a CAM so now the problem is dat is there any wireless webcam which i can use.How can i get the videos or pictures to my PC for monitoring if its wirelessly done ?Also i want to have obstacle detection placed in the bot n want the data send to my PC.So for dis which type of sensors are suitable ?

For retriving the data from sensor and CAM on my PC which microcntroller is best suited keeping in the mind the I/O ports and other stuffs (wirelessly) ??

Plz guys help me with some ideas...
