[Noisebridge-discuss] EEG wheelchair on Hack-a-day

[Jake]

Thanks!  I hope people remember though that this computer-controlled 
wheelchair platform is also a robot, to be driven with Nobody in the seat! 
Telepresence here we come!

If you have hacking skills and a bit of time, please get involved!

The robot needs more intelligence and more hardware.  It's an ubuntu 
platform that you can log into and do work from anywhere - you don't need 
to be at noisebridge because it has a static IP.

I am about to install sensors on the motors so the computer knows how far 
the wheels move - this will be important for telepresent users to be able 
to command the bot "forward 2 feet" or whatever, instead of trying to 
goose the gas pedal correctly (which is totally ridiculous).

Also it needs (or should have) a better wireless connection - i have one 
of those Cisco 1200 AP's which i heard can be used as a bridge client.  If 
someone wants to set one up, get with me and i'll help you wire it in.
