    - acer revo (single core)
    - xbox irda (nodded for USB)
    - xbox remote
    - external DVD drive
    - tvheadend stream (HDTV with vdpau on xbmc stable 9.11)

    Build a Linux powered remote controlled tank. Best of Hak5

    Posted by admin on March 26th, 2010 and filed under usb remote for pc | 6 Comments »

    What could be better than a remote controlled tank? A remote controlled tank powered by Linux. This week we kick off part one of the HakHouse Rover project. Our aim is to build an inexpensive rover with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from an expensive off the shelf robot. Live streaming video? Check. Laser turret to play with the cat? Double check. RFID? Why not.
