Webcam on robot

Hey folks I have a question I want to make a robot with a webcam I know I could do it with a laptop but want to avoid doing so. Any one have any ideas

Also the robot must be able to get a 100-200feet the minimum. I have WiFi in my house if you might ask that.

Thank you

USB wireless-izer? I think there is available a box that will convert any USB device into wireless. Search google.

It's relatively easy to do. You can either use a consumer-grade wireless camera back to a framegrabber on the "control host", or run everything on board the robot, generally at the expense of run-times/size.

See the link in my sig for one way to do it.

Hope that helps -- m

How am I stupid You guys did not answer what I needed. stupid ass.

Here is the answer to all of your problems:

No all I want to do is make my logitech webcam wireless. I don't want to buy a new camera, I just want to use the one Ive got.

USB wireless-izer there is no such device That was no help and the rest were crap. I got replys like Ip cam and information that did not exist. I just need to make my webcam wireless that is all.

three times on the same date, why dont you just buy a cmu cam for 100 bucks it wouuld be easier and it is actually ment for robotics

are you like seven or something

You might want to check the ASUS WL-500b router below to see if it can work in the bridging mode. Otherwise if you just must use that cam, then buy a laptop with wireless and you should be good to go (batterys included!).

how about a USB to serial converter, and a wireless serial box?

Rich

Finaly a good reply, also MR robot is a dumb ass, he doesn't even know what a cmu cam does.

It won't work. What you are asking does not exist. Wireless USB is under development, but won't work with existing USB devices. Wireless FireWire exists, but is not useful for your4 application. Wireless video however is available at every corner, using regular video cameras, like the $8 sugarcube cameras sold by pretty much any electronics store.

And stop insulting people. It make you look like an idiot.

There are no stupid questions, but there are stupid people.

I'll try to explain why you are stupid. I'll use short words so you have a chance to understand. You have a USB webcam. Such things are meant to connect to USB hosts. Hosts are things like laptops or desktops. There is no inexpensive option to adding connecting a generic webcam to wireless (at least, not cheaper than simply buying a camera with that capability built in). If you did even modest amounts of searching and knew even a modest amount about computer hardware, you would realize this.

None of this is why you are stupid. You are stupid because you are insulting the people you are trying to solicit for help.
