Driver Development and Much More With Mike Calligaro

This video is way cool. I am definitely building one. Question on the video stream though; are you actually grabbing a stream from the camera or just repeatedly taking snapshots?

For the R/C car, how do you bypass the R/C receiver to get direct control of the servos? Where do the servers on the car plug into? TIA

I actually have an old ipaq lying around that I might use for it. (luckily Christmas is still coming up)
Thanks! Hope you find it useful... I hope to post an update to the source code in the next couple of weeks. Should bring it up to the latest Microsoft Robotics Studio. Also need to make sure that all the parts for my Aggressor WiMo are still available...
As for your IPAQ... If you get a bluetooth module for it, you might be able to do some fun stuff. Let me know if anything turns out from that!

CHK( m_pCaptureGraphBuilder->SetOutputFileName( &MEDIASUBTYPE_Asf, L"\\video1.asf", &pASFMultiplexer, &pFileSinkFilter ));
ybd:
I haven't transmitted the video/image data directly yet. it is something i will be working on soon, but don't have the answer to right now. Currently i save the image to flash and then transmit the file (painfully slow, but works with the standard filters
and whatnot).
Also:
I updated the source code on the www.wimobot.com last week.
Some of the changes in this latest update are:
Have fun! Keep the questions coming if you have any!
