Greetings!
Thought I’d share the new pan-and-tilt I recently installed on Charlie. . .
Here’s the side view showing Charlie’s new pan-and-tilt.
And here’s Charlie peeking at us sideways!
This will become part of the Remote Camera Robot project where I can actively change the robot’s point of view, (look around), while driving.
While you are learning Javascript, callbacks, DOM, and all the many wonderful tidbits of genius in the Remote Camera Robot, you have an “opportunity” to add a heads-up-display overlay of the current heading according to the IMU, according to the wheel-encoders, and distance traveled during this sprint (from start of this movement).
Of course that is after you are the master POV programmer.
Oh, don’t be a wimp! Go for the Gold! Why not include GPS tracking and “return home”, along with Stratum-1 time accuracy - and a half-dozen motors that can be used to turn Charlie in to The Flying Nun Robot! 
Seriously?
I’ll be tickled pink all over if I can get the blasted thing to respond to my joystick. If I can return confirming status messages from the robot to the browser - it’ll be like I hit the Lottery!
A HUD overlay on the screen? I’m not holding my breath for that one, though the nipple.js source might be interesting since the nipple is - in a sense - an overlay on the image.
If I can get my initial goals accomplished, I’ll be a happy camper!
