• VGA goggles?

  Neither amazon.com nor tigerdirect.com have VGA goggles. Google found me some wired ones, but they are like $250. Are wireless ones really going to be so much less?

  Is the source code for the PIC12F683 going to be made available? It would provide a good starting point if one wanted change the controller behaviour.

  Hello there,
  I'm looking at the same battery and charger you mention in the article.
  Does the charger come with the correct plug for charging the battery? I'm not familiar with li-poly batteries, and I'm wondering what the second plug is, is it for a balancer or the charger? Also, what power source do you use for the charger?
  I was looking at the 2-pin connectors, and they are different than what is pictured. I imagine that they just plug directly onto the headers?
  Thanks!

• why custom make your own motor control?

  What was the reason for creating your own motor controller?? It seems like it added a lot of expense and complexity. Couldn't you have used an off-the-shelf electronic speed control?

• Lower-cost alternatives?

  Hello,
  
  The "Resources" section of the article (page 105) talk about "lower-cost build alternative" available at this address.
  
  Are these available?
  
  This project obviously offert plenty of options in build depending of how one want to be cheaper or better, so I'm curious to see what you would choose.
  
  And of course, lower cost means a better WAF, so... ;)

• Group Order for PCBs?
  You must be logged in to reply.
  
  
  If anyone else is interested, I think it would be cool if we could do a group order for a better price. We could each pitch in for a board. I was looking at the form for a quote from circuitexpress.com, and I don't know enough about the design to fill it out though. =(
  Hey Mr. Mouton, what did you do with your extra boards? =P

3. Would anyone be willing to go in on bulk circuits with me?

  When are you going to post the source code for the PIC12F683? It would be helpful to have it. Thanks,

  I downloaded the schematic but when I try to open it the computer doesn't know what program to open it up with. What do I do?

  Hi John,
  on May 28, you wrote here you plan to make the PIC source code of this project available but you want it more user friendly. Would you be able to offer the code you have right now?
  It would help me a lot if I could learn what the chip does. C-Code prefered but assembler code is also wellcome.
  
  Thank you for sharing your great ideas!

• Goggles/Camera/Trans/Reciever
  You must be logged in to reply.
  
  
  ok, I need help here. In your article you wrote that it would have been about $200 to build this, but you had to purchase the R/C car. I can't seem to find a Goggle/Camera/Trans/Reciever. I looked at everywhere...maybe I am just blind, or I am not looking at the right spot. My 7 year son is a bit disappointed, we talked about it for days and now I don't think I can build this. Any help here?? Can anyone direct me to some locations to purchase these items? I live in Ontario Canada, so Canadian suppliers would be best, but not necesary. Email me at mario6628@yahoo.com if anyone can help.

• Source Code

  I noticed that a few months back you stated you were almost done with the improved source code. I am curious as to whether it is available yet or not? Thanks a ton.
