Linbots: Linux Controlled Cybots







Linbots: Linux Controlled Cybots

Linbots: Linux Controlled Cybots 02/10/2004 03:00 AM

The Cybot is a robot built from a kit, the pieces of which arrive periodically with a magazine, called Real Robots, containing assembly instructions and robotics articles. Cybots have become very popular in Europe. Ricardo A. Tellez has started Linbot, a project to create the software and hardware needed for a Linux-controlled Cybot. The hardware consists of a PIC controller within the Cybot, additional sensors for odometery, and an RF-link between the Cybot and a Linux PC. Software includes the control program for the PIC and a GTK+ based control program for Linux. The goal of Linbot is to turn Cybots into useful robotics platforms suitable for research and experimentation.

Want Your Own Web Controlled Satellite?


Want Your Own Web Controlled Satellite? 11/19/2003 04:36 PM
We've had plenty of articles about the idea of "space tourism" and how many think it has huge potential, but there's still a long way to go before that becomes reasonable for more than just a very small number of people. However, one company, SpaceDev is looking at a middle step between what we've got now and real space tourism. They're using eBay to offer you your very own chance to own a web-controlled satellite. That's right. For just a few spare million dollars you have lying around, you can own a mostly useless satellite. But, you can show off to your friends by logging into it via a web browser and pointing it at their homes. That's gotta be worth the money. The company is also pitching it to people who then want to resell control time on their satellites. Certainly seems like a long shot, but you should never underestimate the desires of people with large egos and even larger wallets.

Remote Controlled PIC of Doom


Remote Controlled PIC of Doom 12/03/2003 09:47 AM
A recent Freshmeat.net release announcement describes the Remote Controlled PIC of Doom (rcpod). Rcpod is a collection of code developed by Micah Dowty for accessing Microchip PIC16C745 and PIC16C765 microcontrollers via USB. The code allows control of various I/O functions including GPIO, PWM, sync/async serial, and RS-485. The package also inlcudes related PCB layouts. The software has obvious uses for robotics, or you could use it to monitor the temperature in your bedroom. Rcpod includes firmware for the PICs as well as libraries designed for Linux and other POSIX systems. All the source is Free Software licensed under the GNU LGPL.

Scriptable, Internet-controlled sex toys


Scriptable, Internet-controlled sex toys 06/24/2004 04:37 PM
I filed this story for Wired News today about one of the more interesting gadget demonstrations at this weekend's Erotica LA porn industry convention: remote-control, "scriptable" sex toys. Adult entertainment providers will soon sell celebrity-branded "scripts" for the devices (think: Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, Ron Jeremy, and the like), which work like mobile phone ringtones but -- well-- then again, kinda different.
Using a two-way video, audio and text chat interface, expo attendees were invited to control Doc Johnson-branded iVibe pleasure devices being put to use by models at an undisclosed location, in various states of undress.

"The device control works both ways -- the person on each end controls the speed and rhythm of the device the other is using," explained High Joy President Amir Vatan, as one attendee cranked his remote partner's iVibe to warp-speed intensity. The Internet-enabled products will become publicly available before the end of 2004, and will later be integrated into an assortment of Web porn destinations.

"It's the ultimate in site stickiness," said Vatan. "For online adult providers, more interactivity means more traffic, and more traffic means more revenue."

The Web Controlled Christmas Light Hoax


The Web Controlled Christmas Light Hoax 12/27/2004 07:35 PM
A few weeks ago, when we had our story about Christmas lights causing problems with broadband connections, apparently Alek Komarnitsky stopped by here at Techdirt to tell everyone in the comments that he had set up his 17,000 Christmas lights so they could be turned on and off via the web. I had forgotten about this until earlier this morning when a friend instant messaged me to tell me he's become addicted to the site and had been turning the lights on and off regularly. Well, it turns out my friend was taken in by a practical joke. The lights were real but the we b-cam and web-based control were a hoax that's now getting a bit of press attention. What's interesting, though, is that from the details it sounds like the hoax was more technically complicated than actually setting up a system to really do what he claimed it would do. Still, it's somewhat amazing that no one figured it out until now.
