Android Bluetooth joystick

[kas]

for powerful night driving spotlight I will probably use some ready made bike light with its own batteries (put a transistor+relay to switch on)

With Total RC Commander, you may also use IR ligths combined with an IP camera. I use a Wanscam JW0004 with integrated IR leds.
The stealth robot will move in total darkness while delivering a clear picture to the android smarphone

@kas I am having issues with my robot. It seems to work fine unless you hit the buttons for function controls.  If you notice in this video you see button 1 is selected and the red led is on . Than it behaves erratically like it loses signal and than restarts Ive tried everything that I could think of and came up no where so I figure I would consult the Oracle

what is button #1 supposed to actuate ??

it operates a servo , however it is disconnect now as i thought it might be causing an issue so the led is in its place so you could easier see the issue I am having.  Should I get a new uno or hc-05 ?

I am using latest app and samsung s7 .

I did some more testing on my smaller robot using a different uno board but same hc-05 and its performing the same way.  I suppose my hc-05 has gone bad ?

What happens when you just test a plain UNO + HC-05 on a table with  _nothing_ attached  ??

You got it    more:
 - mode switch for camera pan/tilt

Hello! Any chance on new "Tank control lessons", with that pan/tilt control, or something?
No rush, I am just curious, and thanks for everything coded so far.

Hi juris3D

Did you already connect your IP camera to Total RC Commander ??

OK   
How do you want your pan/tilt control cooked ?  using one or two servo's ?

I am fighting with camera right now... But I will win!! 
(EDIT: camera EDIMAX feed is working with native Android apk EdiView, and from PC web browser, but I am not sure how to feed cameras username and password for RC Total Commander for now. It is late night, will continue tomorrow.)
As for pan/tilt, it will be two servos config. Left/Right and Up/Down. Not assembled yet, but I can test with servos.

TankControl   V0.8

Button #3 now toggles joystick between  motor control  and  Pan/Tilt control, for camera or other devices
Vertical servo travel and offset are fully adjustable (MIN_Y, MAX_Y & ZERO_Y)

Don't forget to rename buttons according to their specific tasks (Options/Buttons properties/Buttons labels/...)

Enjoy

Thank You for new version! Will try tonight or next days.
I am wondering, what would be best guess how to feed in commandline my camera's username and password? If I simply enter IP address in browser, it asks user/pssw, and then all is fine (see picture).
Link in browwser shows this:
http://10.0.0.45/live.asp?r=20130724
I had some experiments, looking at examples in Internet, how login and password is added to link, but did not succeed yet (Total RC Commander says "error 401: remove camera User Access Control".
I would appreciate some good suggestions here. Thanks!

Did you try removing password (blank entry) within your IP camera ??

[kas]

Also let me have the exact model and possibly a link to your IP camera

[Juris3D]

Did you try removing password (blank entry) within your IP camera ??

No I did not, I don't want to have camera without a password.
Model is this:
EDIMAX IC-3115W
www.tesco.com.tr/admin/pages/files/IC-3115W%20User%20Manual.pdf
http://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/global/home_network_cameras_indoor_fixed/ic-3115w

by the way, I appologize in advance, if I missed something obvious, probably even written somewhere. I just haven't had much free time, so I asked in advance to more experienced Author who probably knows that without looking anywhere
UPDATE:
link that works in android VLC player is:
http://IPADDRESS/mjpg/video.mjpg
but the same string does not show picture in RC TC.

[kas]

My best guesses:

http://login:password@10.0.0.45/mjpg/video.mjpg
http://login:password@10.0.0.45/mjpg/1/video.mjpg

If you drop login and password from your camera setup
http://10.0.0.45/mjpg/video.mjpg
http://10.0.0.45/mjpg/1/video.mjpg

You may also try adding Port info
10.0.0.45:80

Let me know what you tried
