RuBot = Ruby + Arduino + LEGO®

RuBot is a simple web-controlled robot that I built just for fun on a rainy weekend.

It utilizes a modified Uvccapture version to provide a motion JPEG stream to the operators browser.

Visit RubySource.com to find the article I wrote about this cool little project.

QuickStart Guide

Read the article and build a robot like mine
Copy this code to the robot
Flash the code in rubot.pde to the robots Arduino
Compile the modified Uvccapture source using make and copy the binary into the main folder
Connect the robots Arduino to the robots computer via USB and set generous permissions to the new serial device (e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0)
Run rubot.rb and visit http://your.robots.ip:4567 with another computers browser
Enjoy the ride :)
