Gadegeteer tackles the International Space Apps Challenge

[Gary_Beaver]

When NASA came knocking with the 2014 International Space Apps Challenge, @ mitko and Gadgeteer answered the door with the BFU ROVER.

@mitko

BFU ROVER is a tablet and smart phone controlled robot, which works in wireless network environment. The hardware is based on GHI Gadgeteer Modules. The software is programmed using Microsoft Technologies: .NET Framework and the language C#. The robot is controlled by using IP and socket-client server communication technology. Camera is used to visualize the images taken by the robot. The team created a solution which contains: Gadgeteer Robot Project, Windows Store App and Windows Phone 8 App.

By the way, this project is the People’s choice winner in Burgas, Bulgaria. We would like to tip our space helmets to @ mitko and his team for taking GHI and Gadgeteer into the next space frontier.
