Web Based Robot

[yash101]

I want to create a web interface for controlling our robot via the web, especially using something like a iPhone or iPad, etc. It would be easy to deploy a php application that will communicate with the client, the phone and the robot. My strategy, so far, is to read from the web interface, the controls and store a number in a text file. The robot loads the text file from the web server and there is a number, most likely and ASCII Character. How can I download the page on the cRIO and process the data on it?

...this method is a little roundabout, and I'm sure there's some lag, but here it goes. First, put a laptop on your robot and have it communicating with the robot via crossover cable (?). Make sure that just wired connection is set up right (you know; like you would normally communicate with the robot without wifi). Install a remote desktop connection program on the laptop (my favourite is Chrome Remote Desktop (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp?hl=en)). Then simply remote desktop connect to the laptop from any other computer and drive it. I'm not certain but I would prepare for a bit of lag...

[edit] sorry this isn't really what you asked for :P

That is a possibility, though, however, I would use the Windows default remote desktop connection daemon instead, or xrdp if I was using linux. Also, ssh tunneling would work. However, that would feat the purpose. I want to have a simple control system, just a gamepad, to control the robot, and some buttons for the miscelaneous functions.
