Sending commands from a mobile phone

Jul 07, 2005 7 Replies

I want to send simple commands (turn left, right, start, stop, speed 123, etc) from a mobile phone with Symbian OS to a mobile robot. I have strong C++ experience both in Linux and MSWindows but I do not have experience in SW development in Symbian OS. Can someone suggest how can I start writing apps for mobile phone? Which SW development tools? Demo/example codes for Symbian apps? Is there any mobile phone to/from robot comm apps examples on the web?

I don't think you're going to get an answer. Today was a bad day to ask about remote actuation.

Why's that? Anyhow, for a uni assignment of mine I had to do bluetooth control of a robot using a mobile phone. Did it with Java without using Symbian OS specific stuff. I'll see if I can dig up the source for you.

Email me at skywings AT dbzmail DOT com. If you want my Java code for a Nokia phone.

Possibly because of the bombs in London. However they would not have been set by remote actuation. There are no mobile phone signals down those tunnels and a LOT of interference anyway.

Anyway real terrorists don't tend to give out contact details and publish source code :-)

Obviously, when they did, it would take away any suspicion.....

No, because they will get looked at anyway.

Plenty, just go to the web.

I am told that the deviate that recently kidnapped the little girl in the western US and killed her brother and parents had a page up where it advertised its fantasies. Pronoun choice deliberate.
