is it possible ???

Tue Apr 01, 2014 8:01 am

We've built a rover with rpi as the control unit..and now it runs smoothly over a network,controlled by a spectrum controller...is there any possibility to control the motion of our rover wirelessly over the network from our laptop or pc ??? And do i require a perfect gui for that ??? Please help..thanks in advance :)

Yes, lots of people have done that.
No, you don't need a GUI. A web page, SSH connection, or custom sockets-based application are a few other options off the top of my head, though you could probably come up with a dozen more. People have even done this sort of thing with voice controls. What sort of control mechanism are you thinking about?
