OK, Im now back to playing, and building. Ive made a SUPER SIMPLE pan/tilt rig
from my craptastic web cam.
I want to be able to control the RCX via the interweb. Ive found a few posts
online, many point to webrcx (beta 3) - which, i've downloaded.
Now, im stuck. I dont have my own server. I Do have a domain where I can FTP
stuff. I use a simple broadband connection with a dynamic IP. I program in
basic; and thats about it.
Is there a step by step, or moron proof click here and just keep saying "next"
type program that would allow for a control web page.
Dave? Dave?
anyone?
Chris
lube not needed for the tilting.
