I’m working on using the Raspberry Pi as a remote control replacement. The “chain of command” goes as follows:
USB-Gamepad > Laptop >TP-WN722NC
~~~802.11n~~~
TP-WN722NC > Raspberry Pi > I2C > PCA9685 > Servos & Motor Controller
So far so good, everything seems to be working with acceptable low latency. I’ll just need to code some security measures, if the signal is lost (motor off and servos positioned for a slight turn).
As the last weeks were rather busy and I was stuck with a bad cough, I’m still not completely finished with the Easy Star II. As the Raspberry Pi won’t fit completely into the fuselage, I’ll have to adapt the canopy for it:
Das hier hast Du schon im Blick, oder???

Ich finde den Baustein echt toll und würde ihn gerne mal ausprobieren – nur habe ich kein passendes Hobby das nach einem Einsatz schreit. Vielleicht mit Duct-Tape an den Kindern befestigen und diese dann am Luisenplatz aussetzen… mal schauen ob ich nach 10 min wiederfinde….
Good work.
I was thinking of doing this on a boat.
How is the connection between the Raspberry Pi and the computer?
Did you set up an ad-hoc network on the Pi? And connect with a computer to that network?
Hi there,
the Raspberry Pi runs the access point using hostapd and the laptop connects to that. Walking with the laptop in my hand and the Raspberry Pi on the ground I could reach about 900m.
