PiBot

PiBot icon

Control a connected PiBot robot from your phone, tablet or computer. View its cameras, steer with touch, keyboard or gamepad, and monitor distance readings, battery level and connection status.

Features

  • Switch between available cameras and adjust the live preview.
  • Touch joystick, fullscreen camera gestures, keyboard and gamepad driving.
  • Front and rear distance readings, battery and wireless status.
  • Camera, motor, sensor and LED settings.
  • Configurable slowdown, stop and connection-loss responses.

Connect and drive

  1. Have the PiBot bridge running and connected to your RCWeb room.
  2. Open PiBot in that same room and wait for the robot to appear.
  3. Select a camera and check that the preview and status are current.
  4. Use the touch pad to steer, or a connected gamepad: RT for forward, LT for reverse and the left stick for steering while moving. The right stick provides tank steering.
  5. Release the controls to stop. Camera, Motor and Sensor panels let you inspect and adjust the configuration accepted by the robot.

Distance limits can slow or stop a held driving request. Movement can resume when the obstruction clears; release the controls to cancel that request. Watch the robot and the connection feedback while driving.
