New Transceiver Class

[clark.ha...@gmail.com]

I am interested in connecting a TP-Link 703n Mini router as the wireless relay for the arduino.  These devices allow direct serial or serial over usb for communicating with an arduino. Device ( http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n ).  I would like to create a new serial transceiver class to allow lighter weight hardware like this TPlink router and an Arduino Nano.  I see an advantage in being able to configure the TPlink with Python and other powerful onboard tools plus configure it as a client or Access point with more powerful features.  Can you point me in the right direction of implementing a new transceiver class.

Forgot to mention, my overall purpose is to build an integrated proportional control FPV setup for a rc car.  I think your code looks awesome.  I just bought the iOS app but plan to integrate video and sixaxis joystick control into a groundstation laptop.

Hi,

Sorry, I dont have any experience with that device.

Cheers.

I understand.  My question then would be the same as if an arduino was hooked up to any serail port on a computer, say a beagleboard or even a regular atx tower.  example Ascii diagram   Six_Axis_Joystick->Arduino_with_USBHostShield->Arduino_Ethernet<----------Network_Cloud----------->PC->Arduino->RC_Controls

I hope the diagram helps.  Instead of sending the RCOIP from the Transceiver to an Ethernet Shield and Arduino, I want to send it to an Arduino connected to a PC which manages the ethernet connection. 

Brainstorming, if a perl or python script on the PC can interpret the RCOIP packets and send serial bytes to the Arduino.

In the end, I am simply trying to remove the Ethernet shield from the arduino for weight, but it may just complicate too many things.

Hey Mike.  Sorry to pester you again.  Plan B, https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9358 is a Bluetooth Transceiver that interfaces with Arduino via Serial Rx/Tx.  This would accomplish my same purpose as I can deal with any device over serial.  Can you point me in the right direction to develop a new transceiver class that utilizes the Arduino Serial interface such as this Bluetooth to another Bluetooth connected arduino with the Joystick?

To modify RCKit to communicate with a serial port, you will have to define a
new subclass of Transceiver, and implement some or all of its funcitons:
init
run (it will call receivedRequest when a request is received and decoded)
sendReply

If you get it to work and submiot a patch, I can add it to the distribution.

Cheers.
