Download
the zip file by clicking on the link below and ensure that the "use
folder names" option is selected when uncompressing the files. The PalmOS
project can now be loaded into the Code Warrior 8 IDE and modified. This
project contains the object avoidance code mentioned in the book (Autonomous
mode). I'm going to put some tone generation code so that the distance from an
object can be "heard".

Pocket PC (CE) Windows Application
Download
the zip file by clicking on the link below and ensure that the "use folder
names" option is selected when uncompressing the files. The EVC 3.0 workspace
file is under <where ever you unzip>\source\ce\c++\PDABot. The project
assumes that the Pocket PC 2002 SDK has been installed
Control Center Beam Application
The Control Center is used to control PDA robot remotely in conjunction with the
Pocket PC application. It listens for a socket connection request from the
PDA that is automatically accepted if the username and password are
correct. Download the executable below and save it to your hard drive, double
click to run. It can be run on any windows platform (tested on Win98, 2K and
XP). It runs well with a good capture or Video card. If your machine is
under-powered the program will become very sluggish ( I suggest a better video
card or more memory). The source code is not available due to a pending
agreement with a software\hardware vendor.
I am working on a scaled down C# .NET version that I will release the source
code to when it is complete. Check back here if you are interested in learning
about streaming video using the .NET platform (of which I am a fan) .
When an image is acquired through a timer event or the motion sensing
algorithm it is saved to the hard drive, compressed to the JPEG and sent to a
remote host via FTP or mailed to the SMTP recipient.
The
Connection setting dialog allows you to configure an SMTP mailhost (behind the
firewall) and a direct FTP connection. If the file path is left blank the
captured image is place in the root FTP directory of your account.
