I was to be able to control my Arduino using WiFly shield live.
I plan to use a wireless g router for a decent range.
But plan to using a 16 servo shield to control 1 H-Bridge speed controller, 1 normal speed controller, and several servos.
The kicker is I want to control it all from my laptop live with and game controller.
In other words I want to press the forward arrow on my game pad and it makes my robot move forward.
Does anyone have any examples of how to go about doing this?
The WiFly shield may not be the best choice, then.
The WiFly Shield equips your Arduino the ability to connect to 802.11b/g wireless networks.
So, it will be just like hooking your PC to a wireless network. You have the ability to access any file/resource on the network. But the Arduino doesn't have a file system, so the benefits are somewhat limited.
Real-time sharing of data, through files, is not going to be very fast.
Think of the WiFly shield as a replacement for the hardwired Ethernet shield.
A pair of XBees would seem like a better choice for the streaming of data to the robot.
