Linksys WRT54GL robot

[toadeater]

"A remote control car that can be driven over the internet or with a laptop wirelessly from up to 500m away. It has a live-feed network camera so that it can be driven without line of sight and a horn so that you can honk at people.

A while ago I discovered the Linksys WRT54GL router. It's very hacker-friendly in that it runs Linux and some of the hardware has been reverse engineered. A bunch of alternative firmware versions have been written for this router. The version that this project uses is the customizable Linux firmware Open-WRT. Along with great software for this router, a bunch of hardware hacks are possible. With a cheap, hackable, embedded Linux system at my disposal -- I knew I had to do something cool with it. So the Wifi Robot idea was born."

My name is Jon and I created the Wifi Robot.

I found this forum by checking who's linked to my project.

I'm so glad you guys thought it was cool!

If you have any comments or suggestions for improvement I would love to hear them. Either post here, post a comment on my site (www.jbprojects.net/projects/wifirobot), or send me an e-mail. jon <at> jbprojects <dot> net.

Thanks!

People can do great things with WRT54Gs. I've never seen anything this extreme though.
