Control this arduino based rover using a glove #WearableWednesday

NewImage

This project comes from Instructables user electro18 via Hack a Day.

What is it capable of?

  1. It can be controlled using gestures.
  2. It can Send temperature , object distance , battery level , etc. values to the glove ( LCD ).
  3. Can run on 45+ degree angle.
  4. Tx Rx pair on both rover and Glove ( for bi-directional data transfer ).

Why to use joysticks to control you robot when you can control it by the gestures of your hand ! This robotic Rover works on 433MHz Band RF Modules (ASK).

The remote is modified into a GLOVE which is equipped with

an accelerometer (ADXL335)

16×2 LCD display

8 button keypad

and a transceiver

The rover and glove is based on ATmega328 P which is used in Arduino Uno as well.
