C toy helicopter controlled from the remote or smartphone managed to meet many - a relatively low cost and wide range helped them to win the hearts of novice pilots. But progress does not stand still, and that manufacturers are novelty - RC Tank Spy-C, and functional capabilities which an order of magnitude superior to those referred to above helicopters.
Similar toys have always attracted me, and looking at the development of technology, I even thought to make their own Arduino-based single-board wireless security cameras computer and the machine with remote control and view "in the first person." But engineers from China ahead of me running mass production of fully finished product, which, thanks to the company Maxi Toys and came to us for review.
Box was very overall, it was found tank itself, the antenna for WiFi-module and instruction (we had a test sample, wireless security cameras so no translation into Russian). This is the whole set, but need to start something else.
First, the batteries. Perhaps this is done for simplicity and lower cost - tank has no internal battery and runs on six conventional "finger" batteries. But you can use them instead of similar batteries.
And secondly, remote control, which performs wireless security cameras the role smartphone. We used only Android-based device, although the manufacturer claims to support and products Apple. Tank can be controlled wireless security cameras with a tablet PC, but with the Nexus 7 we did not succeed - instead of a picture camera was a black square (it is possible that "blame" unofficial test firmware). When testing the HTC Desire S, HTC One X and Galaxy Nexus, everything was fine.
About all the possibilities of the tank can be judged by the program, which is a remote control. The main screen area is allocated under the camera image on the left and the right are the keys control movement. Do you imagine how moving tracked vehicles? If not, you'll have to get used to, since each track only two modes of operation: forward and backward. Tank moves forward if both command is "forward" back - respectively, and rotations are carried out one of the tracks. But you can increase the rate of turn and turn in one place, running them reversibly.
If such authority seem uncomfortable - you can click on the icon with the letter G and activate wireless security cameras the control accelerometer wireless security cameras smartphone. wireless security cameras In this case, the command is given to no buttons, and tilt the device in the desired direction.
Left and right of the panel functions are camera control button, you can raise it by 45 degrees vertically. Pan the camera to the side is not provided - it will have to move the tank itself. But short commands wireless security cameras to tune in to view the desired object is quite simple.
Further to the left are buttons video recording (camera image can be saved), and starting a route entry (tank can drive yourself to the program you specified), "Night Vision" (allowing to navigate in complete darkness), the control accelerometer, "eavesdropping" photography and broadcast sound.
A little getting used to in the office with the management, we are sending the tank on the first mission - in the hallway. Spy of it did not work - in a deserted aisle every noticed an interesting toy: girls waved to consider them in the camera, the same men and strive to become better acquainted (not with the girls - with the tank).
But the desire to justify a "spy" name was large, so at lunch time the robot was sent into the next room, where he hid under the table, breaking the skein network cable. A few minutes later appeared the first "purpose," which have been successfully photographed. Then a colleague opened the door and rushed out of the tank cover in the hallway, drawing surprised looks over "experimental." Fortunately, they have a positive attitude towards our trick, but if you're about for someone to spy on - note the "goal" can not evaluate a joke, with all the consequences.
Results showed wireless security cameras the first mission - tank is rightly wireless security cameras called "spyware" but one "but." At high speed, it is difficult to remain unnoticed, noisy motors and caterpillars. If you want to save your time in secret, you have to use the facilities "on the ground", hiding behind them and move around a little bit.
In the evening miracle robot awaited second task - to move in the dark. Here everything was easier - the infrared light enough for comfortable viewing wireless security cameras and control objects. Small minuc - lack of color, in the "Night Vision" picture black and white. wireless security cameras
Between times was tested permeability. As mentioned above, with a rolled wireless security cameras up in a coil of wire tank coped perfectly thresholds of 3-4mm too, did not cause any difficulties. The first time a robot stuck on overcoming obstacles in the form of slippers, managed to escape after only a few turns in reverse tracks. But "slip" still managed to have helped a little overclocking.
With more complex obstacles Affairs
