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?

lube not needed for the tilting.

Download either WebBrick or WebRCX (can't find links right now) and

Since Dave is lazy, and firefox lets me google by highlighting and
right clicking...

WebBrick: http://popbubble.com/Lego/WebBrick/
WebRCX: http://www.sckans.edu/~sireland/lego/webrcx/

Beyond that, I'll get into specifics if you need 'em.

You really don't need a web server to do this stuff--you do need, hwever, a
good
hosting service that'll allow you to point to an external system for the video
streaming and to send the RCX commands.  I've never tried it except for that
time I had 2 webcam'bots running--one was on an external system.

Or if you are using apache and have the mod_proxy module
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html) installed, you
should be able to use the proxypass directive to do this (I used it
once to get a windows web cam working from a windows box behind my
linux/apache server)
