cutedigi 11 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 So the rover's camera is working and I can operate the servos; only when the router is physically plugged into my laptop. Wireless is still and issue; it tells me that the " DNS server is not responding. Attached is my config.ini, arduino file, and pictures of the errors I'm seeing. sketch_mar25a.ino Config.ini.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cutedigi 11 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 I've connected the rover to my pc and am not able to access the files;I've downloaded the correct drivers from silicon labs, but still no access to the files.So I am using the software from a dvd which came with my order of the linksprite rover; all software was originally suppose to be already installed though. All files and instructions are written in chines and extremely hard to understand. This is a school project for my electronics 100 class and the end of the semester is coming very soon; I need a fix for this so I can add solar panels to the rover. Not having it move correctly is completely taking away my time from adding solar panels to the rover.Please, any help is greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cutedigi 11 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 The rover is able to connect to my pc wirelessly, the issues is it will only move to left if I hit Left(A) or Right(D) button; the rover will not stop once the button is activated.From this point I realized that there has to be an issue with the software that is flashed to Arduino motherboard.I've installed CP210x_VCP_Win_XP_S2K3_Vista_7 to view the files on the motherboard when connected to my PC. Once I connected the rover to my pc via usb cable that you provided, I can not see that the rover is connected to my PC.I would like to know how to fix the issue with connecting and viewing the files on my PC.

cutedigi 11 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 I might not understand you correctly, "are they in local network;" Yes the rover and my PC is on my local network via wifi.The problem is that when the rover is connected to my PC via USB , but not being shown as connected when I go to my computer.So I have no access to view the files on the rover to see if the files are correct.

I am I can't believe this issue is still hounding users, I posted same issue over a year ago with my complaints and findings. the dvd that comes with this is in Chinese I was told by tech support to toss it. look on linksprite website for their wifi robot at : http://store.linksprite.com/rover-wifi-remote-control-robot-with-wifi-video-camera/ and the wiki site: http://linksprite.com/wiki/index.php5?title=Rover:_WiFi_Video_Streaming_Robot. It seems that linksprite and cutedigi who are selling same product have links to different versions of software. I used this android app by linksprite to control this as well as the pcduino version at : https://s3.amazonaws.com/pcduino/Images/v2/VideoRobot9V/WiFiRobot.apk. When this robot initializes it creates its own WIFI network that you must log your PC/smart phone into to communicate/control it...I believe its called " wifi-robots" or "carwifi"....I'm checking my phone.....my video address: 192.168.100.1 video port: 8090 control address: 192.168.100.1 control port: 5000 delay set(ms): 100 Fore: s Back: w Stop: e Cam_Up: v Cam_Down: d Left: a Right: d Cam_L: h Cam_R: r.
