Hi guys,
I could really use some guidance as far as shopping list (and perhaps method) because I prefer to buy everything in one go to save on time and waiting.
What I want to do: a wifi (i.e. browser-controlled) robot with a webcam. Say I'm in another country and my robot is home, I want to be able to connect to it, see what it sees via the webcam and control it with a simple gui interface and have it move about. The robot will also have a robotic arm and probably 4 wheels (that's overall about 8 motors). As far as the mechanical parts, that's less of an issue since I'll buy a pre-made robotic platform to save on time. The question is "what do I need to buy?"
Here's what I already have:
Arduino Uno
Arduino Motor Shield
I plan to purchase:
ESP8266 Thing
Do I need anything else?
