Fort Wayne Linux Users' Group Meeting
January 21, 2010: Canterbury High School, Computer lab, 7:00 PM.
Meeting Info
Main Presentation
Remote/Embedded control with Linux, by VernCeder, SimonRuiz, JimmyScott.
-
Driving a Roomba with an N-800, VernCeder
-
Introduction to the Arduino on Linux, SimonRuiz, JimmyScott
-
See how an old Nokia N800 and iRobot's Create, a research version of the Roomba, can be combined to yield a remote controlled robot with remote video. This uses mostly off-the-shelf parts and software for a total Mars rover experience.
-
The arduino is a small, inexpensive micro-controller that can be used for embedded control in a variety of situations/devices. See how easy it is to start arduino hacking with Linux, and learn what you need to get started.
