Hook it up near your door and you can pimp slap robber from anywhere in the world. LOL.

Two frames or an iframe should fix that.. or a flash interface. :)

This brings up a question of my own too.. say I have something with a camera that can be controlled over the internet like this. I want to allow multiple people to watch the video stream, and have a queue system to allow people to say have 30 seconds of control time each. Is there an open source project that sets up this infrastructure already? …. Or is this another winter project? :D

I bought and assembled this very same robotic arm, and (poorly) designed my own half-bridge circuit to control it from the printer port. Even made my own ASP page to control the printer port. I was just resting my eyes for a bit and you had to come roaring through in your blaze of glory.
I do take my hat off to you, of course. Very nice circuit. The controller page looks magnificent (Mine was a form with buttons) And my webcam is was very, very cheap.

Well done!

I guess they’re just geared motors, otherwise he wouldn’t need relays.

Can’t wait to see how hot those motors get when 2000+ people are fighting over the controls at once. :)

-1 for not making the claw :)
