HTML GUI for boe bot

Andy "A Man With A Plan"

I was wondering if anyone knew how to program the boe bot to take commands from a web site. I would like to start out cabled at first(usb) But switch to blue tooth in time. I saw the amulate program for their system and was wondering if it would be easy to send commands via usb or blue tooth using the laptop or computer and a web browser gui hub. Any help will be greatly appreciated. (I know of the Microsoft robotics studio but find it kinda hard to install.)

does it need to be HTML? I believe the problem you'll have in going from HTML to blue tooth is that you'll need some sort of custom COM object or equivalent to work. If what your interested in is just local control of any kind (not over the internet), I'd go with a Visual Basic app, there are several postings with example applications. and VB will handle the serial communication a lot easier than a HTML page.

If you used a embedded Web server link the PINK its a lot easier to talk to a stamp because of it's built in serial connection. but it requires a wired network connection or an RF link of some sort to you Boe Bot.

either way is possible it largely depends on specifically what your after.

I Have some HTML pages for the PINK that use AJAX and JASON for dynamically displaying data as well as controlling a bot. let me know if your interested. (Harrison is the brains behind the pages, he did all of the hard work)
