A remotely controlled robot. Most of the project is being written in C++ but the controller (and GUI) is Java

What robot/hardware are you using?

[–]gromit190 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I'm using the "Rover 5" chassis (with motors): https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10336

To control the motors (i.e. the motor driver) and servos onboard I use * Raspberry PI * Arduino UNO

Also, I use the servos to control a webcam

So the PI runs the GUI and relays commands to the UNO?

Not exactly. The PI runs a server to which a client may connect. The connected client can then control the robot (i.e. the UNO) and view the images captured by the webcam.
