Overview and more questions
Sorry guys but was tied up for some time. Had a look at the links you sent. But I need some detailed info on the products, which is not easily available. Additionaly I don't think they ship to India.
The project overview as asked for:
8051-based (MAXIM DS89C420; since it is free ;-))
Tank style drive, self-righting ability, micro-gripper, manual wireless remote PC-based control, video relay, pan/tilt system for camera.
Controller can control the robot to a minimum of 50m with obstacles like walls, floors in between the controller and the robot. The terrain can be:
a)Inside the house
b) Low undulation terrain like lawns, sidewalks etc.
c) Staircase with a riser of not more than 15cm.
Video link is totally separate from the forward path control (PC to robot). I need a system which is somewhat small, allows wireless link, gives output valid for PC (preferably). Low fps will do. But since I don't have to use my robot on Icarus or Mars, 2fps (240X160) would be decent enough.
Does anyone of you have experience about this one: **broken link removed**
Analog solution will also do.
Idea is to push the solution to below $160 inclusive of all taxes, shipment etc. to Ahmedabad, India. If any Indian sources are available, it would be the best possible thing.
Thanks...
