Building the WiFi Robot

Hi

I am FINALLY going to be able to buy the DC motor controller for my robot. I have been goofing around with this for the past 2 years.

I have a frame, two wheelchair motors, and two deep cycle batteries which I want to use for the bot. I have been reading the instructions for building the WiFi robot and think that I can do it.

I am looking to go with the AX2550 MotorController, and most of the things from the ingredients listing on the Roboteq page.

Has anyone else built that robot? I think I will quickly get to the point where I am over my head.

Andy...

There is at least one. See www.youtube.com/user/roboteqinc#p/u/0/ikPHfhLC_3c

I have gotten:
1 * Roboteq AX2550 DC Motor Controller
1 * VIA EPIA ME6000 Mainboard
1 * 2.5” notebook drive with 5G or higher capacity

Seems to be out of production,
* iTuner PW60 power supply with extension wires

Does anyone know of an appropriate power supply?

Andy

I am also looking for the software from the links in the WiFi robot instructions

Cannot find this (the link is no longer good)

# VNC remote desktop software


I think that this is a good power supply:

Andy.

VNC is a shareware program. Several versions are available. See for example www.tightvnc.com/

For the power supply, see www.mini-box.com/M3-ATX-DC-DC-ATX-Automo...-car-PC-Power-Supply

minibox.com has other models but you need one that allows the widest input voltage range so that the motherboard is properly powered even as the batteries discharge

Thanks.. I am waiting on my dc power supply and the enclosure.

I\'m looking for suggestions on radio and receiver for R/C option..

I\'ve got my DC Motorcontroller, and most of the other parts to build my platform.

I am now working on getting the Mini ITX board wired up in the little enclosure I bought. $33 seemed cheaper than what I could build out of lexan.

I hope to post pictures soon.

I got my enclosure, and mounted my

Board to it,
Hard-drive (sata drive :( need adapter for 40 pin IDE)
I have an adapter, but now it is too tall for the enclosure.

So got a 90degree adapter for the sata cable..

Have a lookit..

Trying to put up the picture...
