    never got to see it when i just went to the address i got out of order, will you be putting it back up again soon i'd love to see it in action.

    One question how do you get around the fact that more than one person may be online trying to control it?

    Skylight, I'll but putting it back up in about a week, I let someone borrow my BS2 for an Awesome project which you'll see by weeks end. or if I can figure it out I'll hook up my prop. it will be working again soon.

    About the one user are a time, I did think about this, I haven't tested this out yet, but what I plan to do is, configure a page that will populate variable when someone logs in, the variable will change the link for anyone else who tries to log on, it will say something to the effect of, User already logged on, but give the option for a view only screen. the view only screen is really easy, as all I need to do is create a full width and hight frame and set the Z axis of it to the top. this will stop a viewer from clicking on any thing but will allow them to see everything.

    Added: I will also see about adding a time out feature, if nothing has been clicked for a few minutes it will automatically log you out.

    thanks, i'm dying to try it out, the timeout idea is a good one, perhaps it could be extended to timeout someone say after a couple of minutes so that the bot doesnt get hogged by one person for too long?

    Dgswaner,

    Did you ever complete your PINK project and post the code in some other thread?

    Regards,

    I completed it, to some extent. I had my bot working via the web, forward, backwards etc... I was able to see sensor data graphically, but I decided to go with a propeller instead of a BS2, so I could not only multi task but communicate at 9600 Baud+. but I was unable to get my Parallax RF modules to work with a propeller. and in trying I somehow fried one of the modules. I'm expecting my Tax return any day and Some Xbee Module will be the first thing I buy. and then I plan on completing the project. a few people (or the same 2 people) asked for code, I'm working 10+ hours a day so I haven't had time to post it yet, I think what I'll do is get me PINK online and people download the code from my PINK. I'll post the code or my IP here shortly.
