Bro Thanks for that wonderful link. I have a major problem now is that i am programming my codes in C# where finally my kinect is able to capture and recognized my action. My action is being save into a text file. Next thing is that how can i program the codes that the car actually understand what my action are? I don’t how to transmit.

1) The car I’m using is a one-speed-only car. Most cheap RC Cars are.
2) and 3) Google for tutorials. There are many good ones (like http://coldsolder.wordpress.com/2010/04/20/sound-activated-flash-trigger-for-high-speed-photography/ and http://www.glacialwanderer.com/hobbyrobotics/?p=11).

Hope you found this helpful.

Hi Gauravmm. I am Randson. I currently doing a project exactly the same as your project. I am actually using the kinect to control. Can i seek your advise that
1: How do you know whether the car is travelling in 1 speed or?
2: How to you connect the opto isolator to the car remote. I can’t really see
3: How to you connect Arduino to the opto isolator

Kindly Advise. Thanks

I haven’t tried it with Mobile Safari on iOS 4.3.3. Perhaps you could take a look at it with the Developer Toolbar enabled?

OMG, thats really, really cool.

I’m trying it myself. I loaded the HTML5 onto a web server, but when i acces it from ipad, all i get is a blank screen with the title “Car Driver”. Abyss web server on PC, ipad ios 4.3.3. Any ideas?

Yep, it won’t hurt anything.
The use of the php_date variable is explained here (http://www.gauravmanek.com/blog/?p=31).
For completeness’ sake, you could also remove the script tag that includes date.php, and add the line debug = “” (to give the variable a starting value), but the code will work even without that.

Thanks. I got the simplest server I could find to load the file from windows (HFS, it’s great!). I’ve made progress to where I now see the app on the phone. Back to arduino now.

btw I had to comment out the line below – i assume it won’t hurt anything:
debug = “Please lock your screen rotation!\nCurrent Version: ” + php_date + “\n”;

Yep. Python doesn’t serve the index file. You need to host that separately, using either a web host (many web hosts will give you your money’s worth for a free account) or use a separate server program. If you run OSX, apache comes preinstalled. If you use windows, try XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/). I use that as a local development server.

The Python code only acts as a WebSocket (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSockets) server. The error happens because your regular HTTP request (for the page) does not include the information needed to create the response key, leaving key1 and key2 uninitialized.

Do tell me how it goes!

Gaurav
