Wireless Communication implementation accomplished

The wireless communication link has been established, which means PC can remotely control the robot and transfer data with the robot. There are some tricky parts during the process, which made the process become more challenging.

Example like, the newly released Microsoft Robotics Studio 1.5 CTP does not work well with BoeBot, I was trying figure out the problem in every parts that involved in the communication link other then the Microsoft Robotics Studio 1.5 but the whole comm. system did not turn out right, in the end with the help from a friend who is familiar with Labview testing, we conclude the problem must due to the software part. When I reversed to the Microsoft Robotics Studio 1.0, the whole system worked fine.



A new robot has joined my robot team. This robot has been used by other people previously for another project. This robot looks like to have a robust base but an old weak "heart" and only one wheel attached with encoder. I think there should be a lot of works to do to make it suitable for the tasks in my project.
