I'm a new in Arduino's world...i've discovered it at school this year. I have an idea for a school project but i don't know if the hardware that i think to use can let me to realize my project.
The project it's a car comanded wirelessly...i know that this project was built from other people and there's a lot of documentation, but i can't understand something.
This "car" has to move, following my comands sended from the computer. This computer is connected to the router and throught the router i want to comunicate with the "car".
The car is made of:
An Arduino UNO
A WiShield 2.0
A Motor, a servo and so on...
it's not difficult to programm it for me...the only thing that i want to know is if it is possible as project using these material. I want to know if i have to use, so buy, 2 Arduinos and 2 WiShields 2.0 to do the comunication between the "car" and the PC or i can use simply 1 Arduino Uno, 1 WiShield 2.0 and a router.
Please answer me soon.
Thank you!
PS: i dont want to use the fonera router i want to use a common router.

As far as I understand your system (and that is minimal) one Arduino and one wiShield should do the trick as it will connect wirelessly to your router. Every PC connected to that same router can make a connection to the Arduino. It's like 2 PC's in the same subnet, they can see each other too. But as I don't know anything about the protocols used (these may be proprietary) I can never be sure.......
So i understood, that using an Arduino UNO and a WiShield 2.0 it's possible to comunicate with a router wirelessly, so command the "car" (my project). If it's incorrect correct me please...
Anyway the project looks likes simple...but i want to know these things before starting it and so having to buy on web different components. Then i'll expand it because i want to do a meteorological mobile station!
