I've been away from the forums for several months. I built a couple of netduino robots last year(with some help from several people on here) that I am hoping to use in a master's class I'm taking in computer science.

 

My goal is to have one robot "talk" to the other by whatever means is most efficient. This is where I'm not sure which way to go. What would be my best way forward considering I have two and a half months to build this project. Ideally I would like for one robot to teach the other some basic moves or something similar.

 

Let me know if any more information is needed.

 

Thanks,

David

You might take a llook at Pololu Wixels,

They are pretty versatile and work well in robotiic applications. They can talk to one another independent from a host connection or if one is hooked to a PC (via USB) you can issue commands to the second one

Are those easier to use than an xbee and are they fairly easy to set-up?

 

Thanks for the quick response.

Hi DavidBev -

 

I'm also searching for an economical wifi solution to connect my brand new Netduino Go + Shieldbase.

 

Since you mentioned the XBee above. I was wondering if you could share your opinion of a device like this one:

Other's have suggested a device like this: http://www.junetradi...t&product_id=58

 

I would like to be able to create a Windows Phone app that would talk to my Netduino Go. Ideally, peer-to-peer, but that's not the priority.

 

For me, Value = Result / ($Cost + Effort).

 

What's a newbie to do? Comments?

Hi David, XBee is a pretty safe way to go. Do you have photos/videos of your robots? I'd love to see their latest status! Chris
