ServerBot - for serving food and drinks

Step 10 Software

The software is all written in Spin for the Propeller. All of the software components used are on my robot page at iRobotCreate.googlepages.com in the Propeller section.

I have other experimental applications written in Delphi and Java for remote control and monitoring.

You can also connect via the internet through an XBee Radio to Ethernet gateway to control the robot with simple vt100 Telnet application (Hyperterminal) or Java or Delphi or whatever Application.

All Sensor data collected by the Propeller (distance, compass heading, etc) is also available to remote applications.

You can initiate and upload scripts via any interface using the Internet.

With a wireless connection, sing the Arrow Keys on your keyboard you can drive the robot and correct the robots heading while testing scripts.

(I can even send commands to come to the livingroom from my PalmOS Treo via a telnet application and gprs data connection.)

Additional hardware specs and sourcecode for the IR Beacon are also available at iRobotCreate.googlepages.com. The current complete source is attached here as well.
