If you can’t explore the Moon or Mars … you can always explore your neighborhood!
The main goal of this project is to alter a remote controlled vehicle and control it via
Internet Telerobotics using the Mobile Telephone Network (WWAN - Wireless Wide
Area Network) 3.5G or 4G (Long Term Evolution) and as an alternative you can always
use WiFi networks.
For this challenge it is necessary to make some modifications to a remote-control
car, adapting and equipping it with the necessary software and hardware in order to
achieve the objectives stated above.

From what i have read about the Raspberry Pi, i would guess that to port this FoxBoard Project to a RaspPi should not be a problem, In a Month or so i hope to get a RaspPi and publish an inscrutable on how to do it.
I will probably call it "Mobile Earth Rover - Three 3.5G Exploration" or something.
Keep tuned in :)
any news on "Mobile Earth Rover - Three 3.5G Exploration"?
im getting my raspberry pi tomorrow :)
Akinich
Please can you tell me which wifi dongles are capable with that board ?
Thanks!
D-Link WirelessN Nano USB adapter (DWA-131)
Digicom USB Wave 150 nano dongle
Digitus USB wireless adapter 150N

Very complete project. Most interesting thing is sound. Usually webcam has a microphone but before you have not found any way to stream sound. Interested in baby monitor.
Last year I explored Foxboard and wrote some notes on Instructables.
There is similar board Nanos where GSM modem also works. With Rapsberry Pi still struggle to get video in Debian.
eg-plug a 3g donge and a camera into the arduino
if it's this:http://www.irobot.com/ava/
i want to put it onto a remote controlled car and control it using a laptop connected to wifi
I have actually worked with a GPS and a Arduino in this setup:

My question: How do you actually drive the thing? Is it using the same sort of hacked transmitter from version 1? That's not directly addressed here. Thanks!

I will revise and rewrite the instructable and try to make more clear. Thank you for your feedback.
You are right, i forgot to upload a screen-shot of the client application running.
I don't have as much photos and videos of this project as i have of the other one, but i will upload a photo of the application running.
However i mentioned in step 8 point 3.5 that In this project you control the Rover using the clients keyboard.
It is done by a Java application that can run in any computer, you run the App than press "c" to connect to the rover, use the directional pad arrows to steer the Rover and terminate a connection by pressing "d".
Also with some minor modifications this Java application can also be used to control the Mobile Earth Rover One, instead of using the hacked transmitter.
PS: This project is way easier to implement than the other one. You can probably substitute the expensive FoxBoardG20 with a Raspberry Pi.
Wow dude, this is really awesome! I can't believe I didn't find it earlier. My rpi arrived, and so I think I might give this a go at some point. Thanks!
can we use a usb controller?
that will make it much cooler and easier to pan and tilt!!!
