Hi All
I'm looking for advice and suggestions for a project I have in mind.
I'm looking at controlling a group of small motors (around 4) from my home PC. but the motors are situated away from my house.I require full control of these motors, speed ,start and stop all independent.
The motors won't be hard wired to any PC. or phone line,I want these motors to be controlled wirelessly by wifi connection.The remote side will have a PC. and an Internet connection and wifi enabled.
I've been googling looking for inspiration and I've come up with a couple of suggestions on how this might work.
To get a platform to control the motors I could create a programme in VB.(visual basic) and at the remote side I could use the Wiport by Lantronics and a breakout board to my motors.
WiPort - 802.11b Wireless - 802.11g Wireless - Lantronix
Any other suggestions on what software and hardware to get the communication between my home PC. and the remote motors would be welcomed.
Cheers in advance.
